KUALA LUMPUR: Chevron, which markets the Caltex brand, unveiled its latest premium diesel engine oil – Caltex Delo 400 MGX SAE 15W-40.

The revolutionary formulation constitutes a higher specification, and is specially designed to meet the Malaysian market requirements.

This improved formulation will benefit both new and older diesel engines – helping customers to utilise just one heavy duty engine oil that operates efficiently in both high- and low-sulphur diesel fuel environments.

“The oil and gas industry in Malaysia produces a mix of low and high sulphur diesel fuel which ranges between 15 and 5000ppm. The introduction of the Caltex Delo 400 MGX SAE 15W-40 is proof of our commitment and goal to providing customers with ground-breaking products which not only boost performance but reduce operating costs as well, while keeping their diesel equipment operating reliably,” said Chevron Lubricants, Asia Pacific Marketing Manager, Lennard Kwek.

The Caltex Delo product range includes lubricants and coolants providing premium protection, performance and bottom-line value for on- and off-road diesel-powered equipment. These products are found and utilised in all major heavy industries such as commercial transportation, construction, mining, agriculture, and power generation.

“Many customers serving in the heavy equipment industry are facing challenging situations including exposure towards excessive occupational heat owning fleet of variant ages operating in both high- and ultra-low sulphur environments. The introduction of Caltex Delo 400 MGX addresses these issues, while adhering to the latest American Petroleum Institute (API) specification as well as many American and European Original Equipment Manufacturers’ (OEM) approvals.

"Furthermore, one of the advantages offered to customers is the synthetic-like performance at the cost of mineral products, which significantly reduces the costs of premium lubrication costs,” said Chevron Lubricants, Cluster Asia Pacific, Area Business Manager, Asim Khan.
