Overview: YANMAR 8N21L-GV A client carried out a trial upgrade on an auxiliary engine lubrication system, replacing an existing GF-2 type centrifugal filter with an MP090 unit supplied by IOW Group. The system operates with a 1,200-litre oil sump capacity, using Shell Argina S240 lubricating oil while running on VLSFO 380 CST fuel. The objective of the trial was to assess whether the MP090 could deliver improved contaminant removal compared with the GF-2, while also introducing remote performance monitoring that had not previously been available

For today’s marine superintendent, filtration is no longer a background consideration. It’s a direct lever on reliability, cost control, and vessel availability. With tighter schedules, leaner crews, and rising pressure to reduce operating costs, the margin for error has all but disappeared. Every unplanned stop, every premature oil change, every maintenance-heavy system chips away at performance and profit. That’s where smarter filtration earns its place on board.
