Increased Profitability
"In the first year we used Delo® 400 we saved in the order of $750,000 by extending our drain intervals."
Mike Ries
Maintenance Manager, Camberwell Coal Pty Ltd
Australia
50% Cost Savings
"At Tan Chong Industrial Equipment, we are very pleased with the results we have seen based on our sampling. We have been able to double our drain interval, which means about 50% cost savings. I've also noticed that it disperses soot in the oil, which in the long run, will allow for longer engine life. For companies like ours, it makes good business sense to switch to using this new Delo® 400. Through its benefits, we not only save cost internally, but it will also allow us to offer more competitive rates to our customers."
Mr Lui Tai Sum
Assistant Manager – Technical
Tan Chong Industrial Equipment Sdn Bhd
60% Cost Savings
"Every fleet operator would look for an engine oil that offers extended drain interval and lower maintenance costs. Therefore, we are very happy and satisfied with the results of our sampling of the new Delo® 400. Our vehicles are constantly on the road and every two weeks, they are sent for maintenance and oil change. Lately, we have been extending our drain interval and this is all thanks to Delo® 400. I would estimate that cost savings due to this extended interval is approximately 60% and I suspect it can only get better. At the same time, we are able to protect the environment by reducing the amount of oil that is disposed."
Mr Lee Wai Choong
Operation Manager
Seranas Sdn Bhd (MAS Crew Shuttle)
30% Cost Savings
"During the trial, I have observed that Delo® 400 Multigrade allows us to extend our current oil drain interval to an astonishing 2.5 times as long while retaining most of its properties within the normal tolerable level. Based on my calculations, during the sampling period, we had been able to save up to 30% in operating costs. Furthermore, we use both Japanese and European engines on our buses and 400 has proven to be suitable for both engines. This will definitely provide us further cost saving opportunities, as we no longer have to buy different oils for different engines. I'm really looking forward to the launch of this amazing product."

"Of the two engines I pulled down, one had done 2.1 million kilometers and the other 2.2 million kilometres," Mr English said. "It's always hard to determine how well your oil is working without overhauling your engine … We discovered the wear rate was exceptional. Only the rings were a little worn, which is nothing to complain about after 2 million kilometers," Mr English said.

Extended Oil Drain Intervals
"We used to service our buses at 10,000 kilometer intervals. Now since switching to Delo® 400 we service at 20,000 kilometer intervals and we are saving US$40,000 per annum.
Zainuddin Fathodin
CEO, Intrakota Consolidated Bhd
Malaysia
"Previously we were changing our oil at 15,000 kilometers and bearing in mind in Saudi Arabia the diesel fuel has a 1% sulfur level, with Delo® 400 we are safely up to 25,000 kilometer oil drain intervals and with a fleet of our size that makes a tremendous difference.
Iain Duff
General Manager, Taseco

"This occasion actually highlights a triple partnership in top quality products and services: JS Vergara for top-of-the-line bus management, Mercedes Benz for the best transport and Caltex for the finest quality lubricants. We never use any other oil but Caltex Delo®."
Jose Mari Vergara,
President and General Manager of JS Vergara Transport,
Manila Philippines
"After two years on the other so-called premium engine oil, our engines were wearing out and we anticipated we were going to have to carry out more engine rebuilds if we stayed on that oil. We knew it was the oil and not the fuel causing the problems because the bearings were wearing out on some engines – requiring $15,000 engine rebuilds.
"We have been using Caltex Delo 400 for nearly two years – and we have not had the problems we had before."
"Oil costs have been reduced since using Delo 400. The trucks are consuming far less oil, with daily top-ups becoming weekly in most cases."
Joe Scarcella,
Scarcella Transport,
Sydney Australia
"I am currently using a diesel 4X4 vehicle as my transport and I am regular consumer of this Caltex Delo® 400 Lubrication oil. I use it because it helps reduce black smoke compared to other brands."

The following comments are typical of those we are continually receiving from appreciative users of Extended Life Coolant:
Saves over $700,000 per year!
"The new coolant has many advantages. In addition to its longevity – it never needs to be changed in P&D equipment and a maximum of twice in the life-span of linehaul power – the new coolant will save over $700,000 a year."
Improves water pump seal life by up to 32%!
"It seems that the less abrasive Extended Life Coolant has improved water pump seal life by approximately 22 to 32%."
Bondurant School of High Performance Driving
No radiator blockage due to silicate dropout
"During the past two years using this product, numerous engines have been overhauled with no evidence of corrosion or erosion. In addition, there has been no radiator tube blockage due to silicate dropout, which was the original reason we first pursued the use of this product."
Hibbing Taconite Company
50% increase in coolant life
"But quietly buried in the hardware is a second major extension of the cooling system interval – to [250,000 kilometers]…The 50% increase is based on the completion of tests, according to GM's Wayne Bradley, who added that the coolant life actually could be longer."
Automotive Cooling Journal
Significant cost savings
"The cost savings will be realized using Extended Life Coolant by not using strip test kits and SCA treatments, in addition to the fact that anti-freeze will be changed at [100,000 kilometers] or 6 years for our equipment, rather than every 2 years currently required for conventional anti-freeze…A fleet with 10 tractors and 100 route trucks will save $4,163 over the life of the anti-freeze."
