Mobil Delvac 1™ 5W-40 helped Conti Travels, achieve fuel savings and extended ODI benefits, resulting in savings of US $33,927 annually.

Equipment: Ashok Leyland, DOST, LCV Mini Truck
Plant: Conti Travels
Address: Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu

Situation
Conti Travels, had a fleet of 23 Ashok Leyland DOST LCV mini trucks commuting multiple destinations for commodity movements. These trucks were lubricated with a conventional mineral lubricant that deteriorated quickly and resulted in frequent service intervals for oil and filter replacements. They sought a lubrication solution that would address the high maintenance downtime of the Fleet.

Recommendation
The ExxonMobil team recommended Mobil Delvac 1™ 5W 40, which has excellent high temperature and oxidation stability, provides outstanding protection to the equipment even in harsh conditions and can extend the oil drain intervals. The low traction co-efficiency can reduce fuel consumption and operational cost. Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis (MSLA) was also recommended for evaluating oil and engine condition at regular intervals.
