ChevronTexaco Products Co. has announced that its Chevron Delo Gear Lubricant ESI 80W-90 is now the factory fill gear oil in all Volvo VN heavy-duty trucks
requiring extended drain and extended component warranty.
Delo Gear Lubricant ESI, formulated with ISOSYN technology, is a fleet field-tested product that offers better iron wear and the same fuel economy as synthetics at lower cost. The product is fully compatible with both synthetic and mineral oil products and can be used to top-off gear oil reservoirs as well as during initial assembly.
ChevronTexaco Products Co., together with its many ChevronTexaco affiliates worldwide is one of Volvo's two global preferred suppliers for lubricants and Volvo's only approved supplier for coolants.
Chevron Delo Gear Lubricant ESI was awarded the 2000 Lubricants World Magazine Product of the Year award and was the first non-synthetic gear oil approved by Eaton and Meritor for 750,0000-mile extended warranty service in axles.
Field and lab testing have shown that Chevron Delo Gear Lubricants ESI provide a wear protection film three to five times thicker than the conventional antiwear film. This patented antiwear technology reduces friction to ensure superior gear protection and cooler operating temperatures. The product maintains thermal stability, contributing to improved fuel economy, longer gear and lubricant life as well as energy conservation.
