Schwaneberg Biogas GmbH & Co. KG operates two biogas plants in Germany with three gas engines, generating electricity for the public grid and using waste heat for local agriculture. Since 2021, the company has utilized Texaco HDAX 9200, a high-performance engine oil, allowing oil change intervals to increase from approximately 2,800 to 5,500 operating hours in the MWM TCG 3016 V12 engine, maintaining stable oxidation levels.

Key success factors include a holistic maintenance approach with regular oil sample analyses and collaboration with BEV Service for optimal engine settings. The partnership with Texaco ensures seamless lubricant supply and service integration. The choice of HDAX 9200 was driven by its durability, practicality, and ability to maintain stable operating temperatures, complemented by comprehensive training offerings from Texaco.
