Chevron's road to PC-11

Chevron paves its way to PC-11

In the April 2015 edition of Fleet Equipment, contributing editor John Martin updated readers on the EPA’s call for a new category of diesel oil performance—PC-11.

Martin wrote:

“When the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA), reacting to the EPA’s call for reduced greenhouse gases (GHG), requested a new level of diesel oil performance several years ago, they requested oils which would provide improved:

  • Fuel economy;
  • High-temperature performance;
  • Protection from oil aeration;
  • Protection against cylinder scuffing; &
  • Biodiesel fuel compatibility.”

Recently, Fleet Equipment spoke with Chevron’s Len Badal about the company’s take on PC-11. The company is in the process of putting together a plan for the new category. The infographic below describes the company’s plan for Delo 400 for PC-11.
