Like staying on the road, cutting downtime by increasing your oil drain intervals by 50%. Sounds too good to be true?If it could be a reality for road, construction and earthwork company Urbacon Construction Company (UCC), Doha, it could be for you too.

Conquering the harsh environment
Everyone who operates in the Middle East knows that the terrain comes with its fair share of challenges like high temperatures, sandy conditions and site layout constraints. Operating a fleet in such demanding conditions means prioritizing efficiency and reliability while keeping repair costs low. Every delay and breakdown can throw your project schedule and budget into disarray.
This is where quality lubricants like Caltex’s range of Delo diesel engine oils play a critical role.
UCC recognized the need for a premium solution and turned to Caltex’s Delo Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 engine oil, a product renowned for its superior performance in harsh environments. This isn't just another engine oil; it's formulated with Caltex’s advanced ISOSYN Technology, designed specifically to protect diesel engine parts and extend oil life.
A Game-Changing Upgrade
After integrating Delo Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 into their operations, Urbacon achieved a remarkable feat: increasing their oil drain interval by 50%, moving from 10,000 km to 15,000 km with no unscheduled downtime attributed to lubrication issues. “We need high-quality lubricants with strong after-sales support to increase the durability and reliability of our machines. We also need to deliver projects on time and within budget and focusing on reliability engineering helps us do that,” stated Ghassan Tayyan, Director of Finance at Urbacon. “It is important to use a premium oil and we feel Delo® Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 is just that.”
Unmatched Monitoring with LubeWatch®
But that’s not all. UCC also utilized Caltex’s LubeWatch oil analysis service, which provided them with real-time insights into their oil condition. Bahie Hassan, STLE, CLS Caltex Lubricants Country Manager for Mannai Corp, explained that LubeWatch allowed Urbacon to monitor oil parameters and wear metals, ensuring timely oil change for operation optimization even under severe operating conditions. “Ability to extend oil drain with Delo® Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 reinforces why we recommend Caltex branded products to help our customer’s equipment Run Better Longer,” he added.
