On 13th November, Chevron Oronite received an additional approval from Volvo for its OLOA 61530 high tier heavy duty universal additive. With the addition of this VDS-5 approval, Chevron Oronite is now offering a versatile product that includes key European high tier OEM approvals.
“We are very pleased to add this critical claim to one of our high-performance products, enabling our customers to benefit from a durable, efficient, and reliable solution that helps protect end user hardware. The 5W-30 formulation that has obtained the Volvo approval also comes with multiple other OEM approvals when blended with PARATONE® 24EX viscosity modifier. This solution is an attractive combination that also provides logistic benefits” said Emmanuelle Faure, global product line manager, Automotive, Viscosity Modifiers, Motorcycle, Chevron Oronite.
Volvo developed this specification to help improve the fuel economy of its engines and deliver longer drain intervals. Oils meeting the VDS-5 specification are formulated with a powerful additive package to help prevent oil degradation caused by oxidation.
OLOA 61530 has undergone rigorous bench and engine tests, including the Volvo T-13 engine test, which focuses on oxidation performance with the strictest limits in the industry. A Volvo VDS-5 approval also requires extensive field testing of more than two years and with more than ten trucks to evaluate engine oil performance in extreme and real-life driving conditions.
