DELO GOLD ULTRA SAE 15W-40 DELIVERS RESULTS. SUPERB OXIDATION & DEPOSIT CONTROL.

In today’s challenging environment, where the consumers are geared towards procuring the best quality products – Delo stands out to deliver exceptional performance.

Higher performing diesel engines coming to market, the different types of diesel fuels available, latest Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements and specifications, mixed diesel engine types and age of equipment, extending oil drain intervals, and increasing engine durability are some of the challenges that are faced by diesel engine oil customers today and in the future.

Komatsu Hot Tube Test

Delo^® Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 is an excellent performer and has been tested to deliver results and effectively addresses the challenges mentioned above. This blog outlines two tests that demonstrates this capability - The Komatsu Hot Tube (KHT) and Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DPSC) tests.

Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimeter

The PDSC measures the thin-film oxidation resistance of engine oils at 210°C under dry air pressure of 100 psi. The onset of oxidation is detected by heat produced from the reaction. Higher rates of oxidations can cause more piston deposits, resulting in ring sticking and bore polishing.

Delo^® Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 and competitor top tier heavy-duty engine oils were run in this test and the results compared to each other. Delo^® Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 showed very good performance as compared to competitor products highlighting its robust formulation.
