Can Chevron base oils help formulators meet future specifications?
In many cases, Chevron base oils can provide significant benefits when formulating next-generation products. For example, the better oxidation stability of Chevron base oils plays a pivotal role for many formulators, helping them to pass stringent tests such as the Mack T-8E – that part of the API CH-4 specification for HDMO. Formulators can also take advantage of the low volatility of Chevron Neutral Oil, 5R and UCBOs to meet ILSAC GF-3 volatility requirements for PCMO. For next-generation automatic transmission fluids, the low-temperature flow advantages of Chevron base oils will prove beneficial in meeting more stringent Brookfield viscosity specifications.
