Chevron Products Company 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.
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.
Leveraging the powerful ISOSYN Advanced Technology, the 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 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
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. 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.
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 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.
In addition to the new product line, Chevron will be launching an 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.
