Features and Benefits

High output, low emission diesel engines significantly increase the demands on engine lubricants. Tighter engine designs reduce oil consumption, resulting in less fresh oil make-up to replenish depleted additives. Top piston fire rings are located higher on the piston bringing the oil film closer to the combustion chamber where higher temperatures increase thermal stress on the lubricant. Increased fuel injector pressure and retarded timing improve fuel burn efficiency, but also increase engine temperatures and increase soot loads. Mobil Delvac MX 15W-40 is formulated from high performance base oils and a superior balanced additive system to provide optimum engine performance in modern diesel and gasoline engines as well as older models. The key benefits include:

 

Features Advantages and Potential Benefits
High thermal and oxidation stability Reduced sludge build-up, deposits and viscosity increase
TBN reserves Deposit control and acid neutralisation
Stay-in-grade shear stability Wear protection and viscosity control
