LEXINGTON, Ky., July 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Valvoline
Inc. (NYSE: VVV), a U.S.-based, leading worldwide supplier of
premium branded lubricants and automotive services, today announced
the launch of ValvolineTM All-Terrain, a new engine oil
specially formulated for off-highway, heavy-duty diesel engines
operating in severe conditions and extreme duty cycles.
"Not all heavy-duty engines are created equal. Valvoline
All-Terrain was developed specifically with a focus on wear
protection in equipment operating in harsh environments such as
those experienced in mining, construction and agriculture," said
Edward Murphy, PhD, Valvoline Senior
Group Leader, Heavy-Duty Formulations. "This innovative product is
designed for the heavy-duty diesel engine that needs superior wear
protection in extreme applications and high idle time."
Valvoline All-Terrain provides critical part wear
protection where it matters most:
- Overall wear protection in extreme load regimes
- Enhanced viscosity and oxidation stability
- Additional bearing and piston focused protection
- Helps protect from particulate and moisture contaminants
"This engine oil was developed for heavy-duty vehicle operators
with off- and on-highway engines who are looking for an oil to help
protect critical engine parts against the challenges of severe duty
cycles," said David Young, Valvoline
Heavy Duty Vice President of Sales. "Valvoline All-Terrain has
demonstrated real-world engine performance, providing outstanding
wear protection for critical engine parts and enhanced viscosity
and oxidation stability in rigorous fleet testing."
All-Terrain was tested in 25,000 hours of field trials among
real fleets operating in mining and agriculture with extreme duty
cycles. Even engines that were pushed to over two-times the OEM
recommended oil drain interval, demonstrated excellent sludge,
deposit and wear control.
Valvoline All-Terrain comes in both SAE 10W-30 and SAE
15W-40 viscosity grades and is recommended for diesel engines
operating in a wide variety of environments calling for API service
CK-4 and prior service categories CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, and CH-4.
Both large (bulk, tote and drum) and small packs (quart, gallon and
pail) are now available. Purchasing inquiries can be directed to
1-800-TEAM-VAL.
