Chevron Products Company announced on Thursday the availability of its larger and higher performing line of Delo 400 API CK-4 and FA-4 heavy duty engine oils.

Designed to help extend the durability of critical diesel engine parts, the new product line has been engineered using an advanced formation of Chevron's proprietary ISOSYN engine oil formation. It has also been tested on more than 950 engines across a range of on-highway and off-highway vehicles.

“With millions of miles and tens of thousands of hours of testing across nine industries, we didn’t focus solely on on-highway fleets, but emphasized a more well-rounded approach to assist the trucking, construction, agriculture, mining, inland marine industries, among others,” said Len Badal, Chevron Lubricants global Delo brand manager. “With ISOSYN Advanced Technology, Chevron’s next generation of engine oil formulation, we’ve succeeded in creating a new Delo 400 product line with the longest drain interval capabilities and the best engine protection in our company’s history.”

According to the company, the Delo 400 product line has begun shipping, and it offers up to 68 percent better wear protection, 46 percent better piston deposit control and 35 percent better oxidation control.

“We’re seeing a major shift in how our customers select engine oil,” said Rommel Atienza, Chevron Lubricants North America commercial brands manager. “Oil selection is a strategic business decision. Not all business needs are the same, so it is important that customers have options. In preparation for the new API CK-4 and API FA-4 categories, Chevron set out to develop a range of Delo 400 heavy duty engine oils to provide choices for both on and off road customers to meet their specific goals.”
