showcasing technical innovation with wide applicability and
availability in trucking
Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc.,
maker of technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and
coolants, is proud to announce its heavy-duty engine oil (HDEO)
product, Delo 600 ADF with OMNIMAXTM, was recognized as a Top 5
finalist for the 2020 recipient of the Jim Winsor Memorial
Technical Achievement Award at the Technology & Maintenance
Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology
Exhibition in Atlanta, an honor given to products and technologies
that offer significant benefits to the trucking industry.
“Delo 600 ADF has been in rigorous development for over a
decade, and it is an honor to see our hard work recognized for the
contributions Delo 600 ADF offers to both on and off-highway diesel
engines,” said James Booth, NA Commercial Sector Manager at
Chevron. “Delo 600 ADF significantly reduces the rate of DPF
clogging, extending DPF service life by up to 2.5 times, and
bringing a 3% fuel economy retention advantage over the life of the
equipment, delivering significant savings to customers and we’re
thrilled with the recognition Delo 600 ADF is receiving from the
industry today.”
The award is named in honor of the late Jim Winsor, a journalist
with a legacy of more than 50 years of service to the trucking
industry. Each year, a panel of editors representing the industry’s
major publications nominate and rank components or systems that
emerged during the previous year and choose five award finalists
and one overall winner. To be eligible, a product or technology
must show technical innovation, have a wide applicability and
availability in trucking, and offer significant user benefits. Delo
600 ADF was chosen as a finalist from 30 new products nominated by
the committee for:
- Developing a unique low sulfated ash formulation that reduces
DPF clogging
- Extending DPF service intervals
- Reducing frequency of active regeneration events, lowering fuel
consumption
- Enabling improvements in diesel particulate filter design
Chevron Delo 600 ADF with OMNIMAXTM delivers maximum system
protection to both the engine and the emissions system. Current
heavy-duty engine oils are formulated up to the API CK-4 limit of
1% sulfated ash, while Chevron’s Delo 600 ADF is formulated with
only 0.4% sulfated ash, which helps drastically reduce the rate of
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging to deliver extended DPF
service life and a new industry standard in improved fuel economy
retention. All of this ultimately contributes to reduced vehicle
operating cost for end users.
Current DPF Clogging Issues
The DPF collects up to 98% of particulate matter emissions in
the form of ash & soot. A regeneration cycle combusts the
majority of the soot from the DPF. The ash is incombustible
material derived from metallic lubricant additives, meaning over
time the DPF clogs up and equipment and fleet owners are forced to
take units out of service to restore the DPF function, incurring
maintenance costs, and lost productivity. If too much soot &
ash builds up, the large amount of heat produced upon regeneration
can result in DPF damage, with replacements costing up to $7,000.
DPF clogging increases engine back pressure, and more frequent
regeneration cycles, resulting in a higher fuel consumption.
Introducing an Industry Redefining Engine Oil
Delo 600 ADF meets or exceeds API CK-4 & OEM specifications,
and has demonstrated excellent oxidation stability in industry, OEM
and field tests, providing the opportunity to extend engine oil
drain intervals. Sharing the durability legacy of Delo 400
products, Delo 600 ADF also delivers excellent valve-train wear
protection and piston deposit control.
The full Delo 600 ADF line includes:
- Delo 600 ADF 15W-40
- Delo 600 ADF 10W-30
