Chevron Introduces New Delo ® Grease ESI
New Product Delivers Optimum Equipment Protection and ROI with
Service Intervals of 30,000 Miles and Beyond
Chevron Lubricants, maker of the Delo ® brand of
technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and coolants, today
introduced the latest member of its product family, Delo Grease ESI.
This extended service interval (ESI) grease is engineered to reduce
friction and wear and is designed for a wide variety of on-road and
off-road equipment applications. With the ability to extend service
intervals up to and beyond 30,000 miles*, the new grease delivers
optimum protection while minimizing downtime.
Delo Grease ESI is ideal for Class 6-8 trucks, protecting equipment in a
diverse range of applications, including wheel bearing, chassis,
steering drag links, kingpins, shackle pins, transmission cross shaft
spring pins, brake cam shafts, and fifth wheel faceplates and pivots
operating under high and low temperature conditions.
'Time spent in the shop on maintenance is lost income,? said Len Badal,
Commercial Sector Manager, Chevron Lubricants. 'The extended service
interval capabilities of Delo Grease ESI, matched with other Delo
products like our Extended Life Coolant, Gear Lubricant ESI, Trans Fluid
ESI and Delo 400 LE 15W-40 allows our customers to safely protect their
equipment while maximizing uptime and profitability.?
Delo Grease ESI is formulated with highly refined base stocks, a lithium
complex thickener, rust and oxidation inhibitors and extreme pressure
and tackiness additives. The new grease works well in automatic
centralized greasing systems and in wheel bearings operating near the
high temperatures of disc brakes.
Key benefits of Delo Grease ESI include:
Extended Service Protection to 30,000+ miles*
Extreme pressure high load carrying capacity
Excellent corrosion and wear protection
Excellent resistance to water washout
Excellent high temperature stability
Good low temperature pump ability and torque
Based on industry standard testing, Delo Grease ESI outperformed
competitive products for Bearing Water Washout (ASTM D1264), Load Wear
Index (ASTM D2596), Low Temperature Torque (ASTM D4693) and Automotive
Wheel Bearing Life (ASTM D3527).

Delo Grease ESI will be available across North American late in the
