The New Delo 400 Product Line Has Undergone One
of the Most Extensive On-and
Off-Highway Field Testing Programs in the Industry
Today, at a press conference just prior to the opening of the
Great American Trucking Show (GATS), Chevron Products Company, a
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, maker of the Delo® brand of
technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and coolants
introduced ISOSYN® Advanced Technology and its new line of Delo 400
API CK-4 and FA-4 heavy duty motor oils (HDMO) coming December 1,
2016. As part of its product rollout, Chevron will be launching a
new advisor service created to help customers select the best
products for them by assessing their business needs, analyzing
their current lubricant choices and developing a customized action
plan specific to their needs.
“This is a time of change in our industry, and we expect
customers will have many questions, including what oil is best for
their business needs,” said Doug Hinzie, VP, Americas Lubricants at
Chevron. “With the licensing of API CK-4 and FA-4 oils, our
customers will have more choices than ever, so we are providing
products and services to answer those questions and improve their
business. Continuing that collaboration, we are committed to work
with them to help them determine the best product for their needs,
which is why we launched our new advisor service.”
Chevron unveiled the next generation of its ISOSYN technology -
ISOSYN Advanced Technology, a unique combination of Chevron’s
industry leading formulation expertise, high performance additive
chemistry and premium base oils – that helps extend the durability
of critical diesel engine parts. ISOSYN Advanced Technology enables
increased durability, through better oxidation control, anti-wear
protection and piston control, while extending drain intervals
compared to API CJ-4 oils. Taking this a step further, a unique
formulation of ISOSYN Advanced Technology has helped to optimize
fuel efficiency for the FA-4 specific oils.
The 2017 Delo 400 Product Line
Leveraging the powerful ISOSYN Advanced Technology, the new Delo
400 product line offers optimized performance and better engine
protection than any prior Delo product, extending the life of the
vehicle and helping minimize the cost of ownership. The new Delo
400 product line will be available in a variety of viscosities and
will support both API CK-4 and FA-4 HDMO categories:
- Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-30 – Full synthetic
meeting API CK-4
- Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-40 – Full synthetic
meeting API CK-4
- Delo 400 XLE SAE 10W-30 – Synthetic
blend meeting API CK-4
- Delo 400 XLE SAE 15W-40 – Synthetic
blend meeting API CK-4
- Delo 400 SDE SAE 15W-40 – Premium base
oil meeting API CK-4
- Delo 400 ZFA SAE 10W-30 – Synthetic
blend meeting API FA-4
“We are seeing some of the longest drain intervals and best
engine protection in our company history, due to our industry
leading formulation expertise,” said Len Badal, Global Delo Brand
Manager for Chevron. “Chevron is currently field testing the new
Delo products in more than 900 engines, across a range of OEMS, and
a diverse set of operating conditions, going beyond the many miles
on the road, but also the most significant off-highway testing
Chevron’s conducted for a new category change. These products have
seen tens of thousands of hours of testing across nine different
industries, including trucking, construction, agriculture, mining,
inland marine and much more.”
Following a five-year development phase, the Delo 400 product
line has gone through Chevron’s most extensive field testing
program, which is one of the most rigorous, varied and exhaustive
testing programs in the industry and in Chevron’s history. At
Chevron, multiple products are tested across various viscosity
grades and in different engines, spanning a range of on- and
off-highway manufacturers and a variety of environments to ensure
performance in real-world conditions.
The Chevron attention to detail goes beyond the oil to the
packaging and labeling with specially labeled caps clearly noting
support for either API CK-4 or FA-4. In addition, the new Delo 400
product line will have color coordinated labels and caps to make it
easy to differentiate. The ISOSYN Advanced Technology branding will
be prominently featured on the package; ensuring customers know the
quality of the product at purchase.
These new advanced Chevron products come at a time when fleet
managers want to minimize the total cost of ownership. The new Delo
400 product line not only contributes to reduced carbon emissions,
but helps improve total vehicle efficiency. As one of the leaders
in the industry that helped bring the new API CK-4 and FA-4
categories to market, Chevron is uniquely positioned to leverage
the latest technological innovation and market expertise to guide
fleets into a new era in HDMO and help reduce their total cost of
ownership.
“At Chevron, our focus is on helping our customers be
successful,” said Rommel Atienza, Commercial Brand Manager for
North America at Chevron. “That means we are focused on working
with fleet managers, and owners/operators to minimize the total
cost of ownership beyond the engine and engine oils. We are
shifting our perspective to look at the whole vehicle and how we
can ladder up to the bigger impact on a business. Our new advisor
program will help us partner with our customers to drive their
business forward with the right product for their needs.”
New Program Gives Chevron Trusted Advisor Role
In addition to the new product line, Chevron will be launching a
new advisor service for its customers and potential customers to
help them during this time of transition, ensuring they select the
right product for their needs. This new program has three
phases:
- Assess – Chevron will take stock
of all the equipment, field of industry, level of performance and
goals for the business.
- Analyze – Leveraging its
expertise, Chevron will work with the customer to determine what
product is best for them, based on the budget, production demands
and vision for the future.
- Action – After the data has been
calculated, a report will be generated outlining the ideal product
recommendation that will optimize the business, advise on total
vehicle efficiency improvements and customize inventory management
for the needs of each company.
Continued Industry Leadership
Chevron, by way of its flagship Delo product line, continues to
be a leader in establishing progressively improved HDMO performance
that helps increase engine durability, improve fuel economy and
reduce emissions. Since 1987, the company has successfully led the
introduction of eight new categories from API CE through API CK-4
and FA-4. For the last 50 years, Chevron executives have played an
instrumental role in generating the industry consensus that must be
reached to continue moving forward. In addition, Chevron launched
an education campaign at the end of last year to help with the
transition to API CK-4 and FA-4 (formerly known as PC-11), which
included a website that helped explain the two new oils, providing
news articles, information, blogs and answers to the most common
questions. Today, Chevron launched its new ChevronDelo.com website,
which now includes a section on API CK-4 and FA-4 to educate and
prepare the industry for this transition.
