A new solution for optimizing the performance of commercial vehicle engines
Star Lubricants offers since October 2013 a new lubricant formulation developed by ExxonMobil to optimize the performance of diesel engines for commercial vehicules. The new Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 oil has more approvals than the previous formulation, and meets the requirements of the majority of Euro VI engines developed by leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
To meet Euro VI emission targets, all Euro VI engines will incorporate after-treatment devices which can be sensitive to lubricant components. With its low sulphated ash, phosphorous and sulphur (‘low SAPs’) formulation, the new Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 can deliver outstanding emission system protection for modern engines, including Euro VI. "With our new Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30, we have created an advanced heavy-duty diesel engine oil that can meet the technical requirements of current and future engines and deliver valuable sustainability relatedbenefits, such as enhanced fuel economy potential," said Ahmet Aras, CVL Marketing Supervisor - Europe, Africa and Middle East, ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants.
The new formulation has also been proven to offer significant fuel economy benefits in commercial vehicles. Independent fuel economy tests were recently conducted at Millbrook, a leading international vehicle test and development facility in the UK. Two Volvo FM440 Euro V trucks, loaded to 75 percent Gross Vehicle Weight (circa 44,000 kg) undertook a series of fuel economy tests under highway driving conditions. Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 achieved an average fuel economy gain of 1.8 %.
The new Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 is an advanced heavy-duty diesel engine oil that can meet the technical requirements of current and future engines and deliver valuable sustainability related benefits, such as enhanced fuel economy potential. Along with enhanced emission system protection and fuel economy potential, Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 offers a number of additional performance advantages compared to conventional mineral oils, including:
- extend the engine life
- reduce oil consumption
- minimize waste disposal costs
- enable easier start-up and maintaining engine protection in cold weather
