DALLAS, TX., August 23,
2012 – 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 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-30, which can deliver
significant fuel economy benefits. The product is designed to provide maximum
fuel economy improvements while meeting industry and engine manufacturers’
performance requirements and is ideal for heavy- and medium-duty trucks
operating both on- and off-highway as specified by the OEM. Delo 400 LE
Synthetic SAE 5W-30 was announced at the Great American Trucking Show in
Dallas, Texas (booth 19125).
Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE
5W-30 is a mixed-fleet gasoline and diesel motor oil recommended for engines in
which the API CJ-4 or API SN service categories and SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade
are recommended. The oil is designed to
meet the demands of EGR and EGR/SCR engines while also providing the highest levels
of performance in other diesel engine technologies.
Fuel Economy Benefits
Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE
5W-30 can deliver up to 4.5 percent fuel
economy improvement with short haul trucks (Class 6) and up to 2 percent with long haul trucks (Class 8) when
compared to SAE 15W-40 reference oil in SAE J1321 fuel consumption testing. For
fleets, the savings associated with these fuel economy improvements can be
substantial.
Improvements in fuel
efficiency not only reduce operating expenses, they also reduce carbon dioxide
emissions. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration,
approximately 22.38 pounds of CO2 are produced by burning a gallon
of diesel fuel[i].
Regardless of your area of concern, a 2-4 % improvement in fuel efficiency will
deliver a positive impact to your bottom line and the environment. For more

Delo Fuel Economy Line
Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE
5W-30 joins Delo 400 LE SAE 10W-30 to create a line of Chevron diesel engine oils focused
on delivering improved fuel economy without sacrificing engine durability. In
fact, Chevron has conducted laboratory and field durability tests that have
shown its products provide wear levels and oil drains that fleets have come to
expect from leading SAE 15W-40 motor oils.
“We understand that many of
our customers are focused on managing fuel costs. Lubricants can play an
important role in improving fuel economy, allowing fleet owners to reduce
operating costs and stay competitive,” said Jim Gambill, North America
Commercial and Industrial brand manager, Chevron Products Company. “Chevron is committed to helping its
customers decrease expenses by delivering products designed to reduce fuel
consumption. Our new Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-30 is part of Chevron’s
vision to offer a line of lubricants that deliver fuel economy without
sacrificing engine or component durability.”

Fuel economy improvements: Can deliver up to 4.5 percent fuel economy improvement
when compared to 15W-40 viscosity oils (dependent on vehicle type, load and
other driving conditions).
·
Consistent cold engine starting: Low viscosity synthetic base stocks promote
consistent engine starting for vehicles operating in sub-zero temperatures
·
Minimized
operating costs: Protects against wear and corrosion, contributing to maximum vehicle
utilization and minimal downtime
·
Emission control system life: Provides optimum Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) life
for minimal downtime and cleaning, thus managing your maintenance costs.
