Chevron Issues Case Study Highlighting Increased Performance of Delo ? for Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal
Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 engine oil and Delo Extended Life Coolant
deliver 16,000 hours of life in Cummins M11 Engine
Chevron Products Company, a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, maker of the
Delo ? brand of technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and
coolants, released a case study demonstrating that use of Delo 400 LE
SAE 15W-40 decreased mechanical wear for the Tahoe Truckee Sierra
Disposal fleet in California′s Sierra Nevada Mountains.
'I′m looking at the bottom line?I don′t want to be buying a new truck
every year,? said David Achiro, owner, Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal. 'I
feel that the Delo 400 products are keeping our trucks on the road a lot
longer.?
Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal operates a fleet of waste collection
vehicles in extreme conditions including high altitude and temperatures
ranging from 30 degrees below zero to over 100 degrees farenheit. The
fleet includes a garbage disposal truck with a Cummins M11 engine, which
the company recently took apart and studied after 16,000 hours of
service using Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 and Delo Extended Life Coolant.
'While the exterior of the truck looked like it had travelled "to the
moon and back,′ the engine remained in top condition. The truck′s
camshaft was in excellent condition with no abrasive wear pattern,? said
Jim McGeehan, senior scientist at Chevron. 'The combination of the use
of Delo 400 LE oil and Delo Extended Life Coolant allowed Tahoe Truckee
Sierra Disposal to extend the life of critical engine parts and achieve
significant cost savings.?
