Chevron Completes Testing on 2010 Engine Oil
Chevron has found that its Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 engine oil is ready to help meet 2010 emissions standards
Chevron says engines have accumulated between 130,000 to 190,000 miles of operations using the oil.
Chevron has found that its Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 engine oil is ready to help meet 2010 emissions standards.
The company recently completed testing the oil in engines using diesel particulate filters (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) with positive results.
Since 2008, Chevron has been testing the oil in Volvo 2010 emission compliant engine technology using DPF, SCR and DEF. Multiple engines have accumulated between 130,000 to 190,000 miles of operations using the oil. Even with 30,000 to 40,000 mile drain intervals, the use of Delo 400 LE 15W-40 resulted in engine durability and low levels of wear, Chevron says.
In addition, the oil's lower ash levels resulted in substantially less incombustibles in DPF, which should result in less cleaning maintenance and potentially better fuel economy due to the lower back pressure on the exhaust.
The DPF, SCR and DEF solution will be used by most OEMs to meet 2010 emission regulations, while Navistar will use an exhaust gas recirculation solution.
