Chevron has announced the end of conventional oils in its Delo line for heavy-duty diesel engines.
Instead, the company is going full speed ahead with synthetic and synthetic blends. So does that mean all the owners of older equipment are out of luck?
The answer is an emphatic “no” from our guest on The Dirt, Walt Collier with Chevron. In fact, the old equipment will get better results from synthetics and synthetic blends, such as longer change intervals, improved engine performance and fuel savings, he says. Owners stand to save thousands of dollars a year by switching to the new oils.
Dropping conventional oils also makes shopping a lot simpler, as the product line is reduced from four categories to two, according to Collier.
