What does this mean for users?
A versatile product suitable for a range of on-highway applications, Texaco Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20 is a strong choice for commercial vehicle operators. Its formulation has been designed to optimise fuel economy performance, while helping maintain good component wear protection and engine service life. In addition, the product’s low-ash additives help protect DPFs, exhaust gas recirculation and catalytic converter systems.
Even during cold start-ups in sub-zero temperatures, consumers can benefit from Texaco Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20 to help them get the job done, thanks to its low viscosity synthetic base oil technology.
For consumers seeking durability and cost-effectiveness, Texaco Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20 ticks the box. The product is designed to help minimise wear and scuffing, along with bore polishing and soot dispersancy, helping to reduce maintenance downtime and costs.
Additionally, the engine oil’s high performance additives and base stocks help provide wear protection and oxidation, as well as sludge and oil thickening control, helping to extend oil drain. On top of this, the product also promotes the effective functioning of engine aftertreatment systems over the entire system‘s lifespan.
On which vehicles should it be used?
The product is recommended for use in the latest generation MAN trucks and buses requiring MAN M3977 approved engine oils, on-highway light and heavy-duty trucks, and vehicles equipped with modern heavy-duty engines that are fitted with DPFs, in line with the owner’s manual recommendations.
However, consumers must be aware that Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-20 may not be used in engines requiring older or other specifications of engine oil since this can cause engine issues. With this in mind, commercial vehicle operators should always refer to the vehicle owners’ manual handbook to establish whether the oil can be used in their vehicle.
