Delo ? 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 Targets Fuel Economy
-- New Heavy-Duty Motor Oil Can Deliver up to 3.6 Percent Fuel
Economy Improvement in Class 6 Trucks --
Chevron Products Company, a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, maker of the
Delo ? brand of technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and
coolants, today announced its latest product, Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE
10W-30, which can deliver over three percent fuel economy improvement in
class 6 trucks relative to SAE 15W-40 diesel motor oils. The product is
formulated for use in modern on-highway, low emissions engines as well
as older diesel engines. It will also provide exceptional performance in
modern off-highway engines where an SAE 10W-30 viscosity grade is
recommended, including those adapted for future emissions standards in
construction, agriculture, marine and mining applications.
Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 is a premium synthetic blend fuel
economy and mixed fleet motor oil recommended for naturally aspirated
and turbocharged four-stroke diesel engines and four-stroke gasoline
engines in which the API CJ-4 or SM service category and SAE 10W-30
viscosity grade are recommended. The product is formulated for 2010
compliant low emission diesel engines with Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) and is also compatible with previous engine models and previous
API oil service categories.
Fuel Economy Benefits
Delo 400 XLE Synblend SAE 10W-30 shows up to 3.6 percent fuel economy
improvement in short-haul, class 6 vehicles and up to 1 percent
improvement in long-haul, class 8 trucks compared to SAE 15W-40 oil in
SAE J1321 Fuel Consumption Tests. For fleets, the savings associated
with these fuel economy improvements can be substantial.
