New launch and approval for Texaco Delo range
Texaco Lubricants has announced the introduction of Texaco Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20, a premium performance synthetic heavy-duty engine oil designed to provide robust protection and optimum fuel economy in high performance, low emissions engines used in severe on-highway applications.
“Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20 features advanced Isosyn technology, which uses high performance low SAPS additive systems,” said the company.
“It meets the latest MAN M3977 standards for modern diesel engines with diesel particulate filters, and latest Euro VI-d emission requirements.
“The product is designed to optimise fuel economy performance while helping maintain reliable component wear protection and engine service life. Its low viscosity synthetic base oil technology promotes cold start-ups and diesel engine performance in sub-zero temperatures.
“In addition, it is formulated to minimise wear, scuffing, and bore polishing, as well as to aid soot dispersancy and help reduce maintenance downtime and cost.”
From an environmental perspective, Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20’s low-ash additives help offer protection to diesel particulate filters, exhaust gas recirculation and catalytic converter systems, adds Texaco.
“The engine oil promotes the reliable functioning of engine aftertreatment systems over the entire system’s lifetime, and its high performance additives and base oil offer wear protection, oxidation, and sludge and oil thickening control, whilst helping to extend oil drain.”
Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20 has been specially developed for use in MAN Euro VI-d commercial vehicles and is recommended for use in the latest generation of MAN trucks and buses that require MAN M3977 approved engine oils.
This includes vehicle types E, F, J & K with D26 and D38 engines that are equipped with EFR & SCR+CRT, and D2676 & D3876 engines. The product has also been developed for on-highway light and heavy-duty trucks, and modern heavy-duty engines that are equipped with diesel particulate filters in line with the owner manual recommendations.
The firm also recently announced that another engine oil in the range, the Texaco Delo 400 XSP-SD SAE 5W-30, has been awarded Scania LDF-4 approval.
“Following tests undertaken by commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania, Texaco’s high performance synthetic heavy duty engine oil Delo 400 XSP-SD SAE 5W-30 has met the transport solution provider’s criteria to be used in its vehicles,” said the company.
“The Scania LDF-4 (Long Drain Field Test) approval ensures that vehicles are operated with the required oil quality. To meet the specification, Scania tests oils and engines for 155,000 km in long haulage, before draining and examining the engine parts.
“In developing products to meet and often exceed the specifications of Scania and others, Texaco Lubricants continues to demonstrate its commitment to developing the highest quality products to aid in outstanding performance and protection for an array of vehicle types.”
As well as the Scania LDF-4 approval, Texaco Delo 400 XSP-SD SAE 5W-30 also carries several other approvals, including MAN 3677, MB-Approval 228.51/MB-Approval 228.52, and Volvo VDS-4.5.
Delo 400 XSP-SD SAE 5W-30 has been formulated for use in a wide range of naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesel engines in on-highway, off-highway, and construction applications, says Texaco Lubricants.
“This heavy duty engine oil is designed to help improve fuel economy, maintain robust component wear protection and engine service life. In addition, its low viscosity synthetic base offers rapid circulation in cold and sub-zero engine start-ups.”
