Chevron Products Company, maker of technologically advanced engine oils,
lubricants and coolants, today announced that it has begun consolidation
of its gas engine oils under the Chevron HDAX ? brand. The
focus of the consolidation is on retaining the best products from
Chevron′s global portfolio, assuring customers have technology that has
been proven in both the lab and the field. Chevron has built its new

5000 and 3000 series products, with higher numbers indicating a greater
level of performance. Different products will be available at each tier
(e.g., HDAX 5500, HDAX 5300) to meet varying market and application
needs.
