Business Wire
Designed for severe duty, longer service life and extended
drain intervals, Delo Syn ATF 668 delivers optimal performance for
all Allison Transmissions requiring TES 668 fluid
Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc.,
today announced the launch of Delo Syn ATF 668, a fully synthetic
transmission fluid specifically engineered for Allison heavy duty
automatic truck and bus transmissions.
Engineered for longer service life, improved transmission
performance, optimal fluid performance and improved clutch
operation, Delo Syn ATF 668 is approved and licensed by Allison for
transmissions requiring TES 668 and is backwards compatible with
TES 389® and TES 295®. Manufactured with synthetic base oils and
state-of-the-art additives, it is a next-generation fluid for
modern Allison transmissions, building and improving on the proven
performance of TES 389 and TES 295 fluids.
“We developed Chevron Delo Syn ATF 668 to meet the needs of
businesses and municipalities who operate fleets that traditionally
rely on vehicles with Allison transmissions,” said Jason Gerig,
Chevron Americas Commercial On & Off Highway Sector Manager.
“With Delo Syn ATF 668, we are enabling work truck and bus
operators to decrease maintenance needs and increase the amount of
time a vehicle can remain in operation for critical services to
communities.”
Extended Anti-Shudder Durability for Smooth & Steady
Operation
Improved transmission performance by providing more than
13 times anti-shudder durability
compared to TES 295 fluids, which allows for smoother shifts at low
speeds and over a wider temperature range.
Extended Clutch Friction Durability for Consistent Gear
Change
Exceptional clutch operation across temperature variations and
load sizes as the fluid ages in the transmission under extreme
working conditions. Optimal fluid performance enables fast
circulation and efficient power transfer in the most demanding
conditions and during cold weather start-ups.
Superb Oxidation Performance for Extended Drains
Longer service life and lower maintenance costs enabled by
improved anti-wear protection, antioxidation and shear stability
over TES 295 fluids. These advantages reduce noise, vibration,
harshness, and maintain hardware reliability for extended drain
intervals.
Allison has recommended that all current users of TES 295 or 389
fluids begin the transition to an approved TES 668 fluid, and Delo
Syn ATF 668 can be mixed with these fluids without the need to
change drain intervals, allowing fleets to remain in full operation
as they transition to 668 fluids.
Applications
- Allison transmissions that specify TES 668 fluids
- All 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series transmissions where TES
295 is specified for extended drain intervals
- All 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 series transmissions where TES
389 is specified for standard oil drain intervals
