ExxonMobil has introduced a new lineup of Mobil Delvac 1 synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oils. The new oils are designed to help commercial vehicle and off-highway fleet managers maximize equipment availability and reduce fuel costs. The oils are now available via local distributors across the country.
The new lineup includes three products that meet either API CK-4 or FA-4 specification:
Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5W-30, designed to deliver long and reliable service in the latest engine technologies.
Mobil Delvac 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 5W-30, designed to meet the most stringent fuel saving objectives and for use in the latest low-emission engine technologies.
Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5W-40, offers reliable engine operation, including for off-highway equipment.
Field performance and testing has demonstrated that, compared to a 15W-40 conventional engine oil, Mobil Delvac 1 oils can help fleets minimize vehicle downtime and deliver increased fuel economy potential, without sacrificing engine protection. “[These] oils were designed and developed around being able to optimize oil drain intervals to help fleets, depending on their duty cycle, get a year of service out of their equipment and oil before having to change it,” said Paul Cigala, commercial vehicle lubricants applications engineer at ExxonMobil.
Extensive on-road testing has shown the new Mobil Delvac 1 5W-30 oils deliver high-temperature viscosity control, oxidation resistance and wear protection, even with oil drain intervals of up to 100,000 miles. This performance meets or exceeds requirements for manufacturer approvals. “We have over 35 million miles of field testing data results with these formulations,” said Cigala. “ We've also done extensive engine tear-downs ... used oil analysis to support all the claims on the product … [and] passed all the API requirements for the major engine OEM approvals.”
Tests carried out by the Millbrook Group, an independent vehicle test and validation provider, have shown that Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5W-30 oil helps improve fuel economy up to 2.6 percent in city driving conditions when compared against conventional mineral-based 15W-40 oils.
In addition, these oils are designed to provide benefits for fleet owners focused on reducing waste. In lab testing, the Mobil Delvac 1 5W-30 oils showed a 37 percent improvement in oil consumption when compared to a leading global CJ-4 / MB 228.51 synthetic oil.
“Our new Mobil Delvac 1 oil technologies offer fleet managers a big opportunity to grow their business by taking advantage of only a small portion of their budget,” said Cigala. “Use of these oils translates into less money spent on fuel and maintenance and more money to invest in other areas of their business that will help drive growth.”
