LOUISVILLE, KY. Chevron Lubricants has released a new Delo extended service interval (ESI) grease this week at the Mid-America Trucking Show. The product, the Delo Grease ESI, is designed for service intervals up to and beyond 30,000 mi., the company said.

The grease, for use in on-road and off-road equipment, reduces friction and wear, helping protect wheel bearings, chassis, steering drag links, kingpins, shackle pins, transmission cross shaft spring pins, brake cam shafts, and fifth wheel faceplates and pivots operating under high and low temperature conditions.

“Time spent in the shop on maintenance is lost income,” said Len Badal, commercial sector manager, Chevron Lubricants. “The extended service interval capabilities of Delo Grease ESI, matched with other Delo products like our extended life coolant, gear lubricant ESI, trans fluid ESI and Delo 400 LE 15W-40 allows our customers to safely protect their equipment while maximizing uptime and profitability.”

Delo Grease ESI is formulated with highly refined base stocks, a lithium complex thickener, rust and oxidation inhibitors and extreme pressure and tackiness additives.

According to Chevron, benefits of the grease include:

Extreme pressure high load carrying capacity
Excellent corrosion and wear protection
Excellent resistance to water washout
Excellent high temperature stability
Good low temperature pump ability and torque
