42 // OWNER OPERATOR // MARCH 2014 MAINTENANCE MATTERS "The parts coming out of this engine had minimal wear, it looked really well," said R.E. West Maintenance Manager Dustin Stricker. "Once we get this rebuild done we're putting the truck back on the road, and we believe that the truck will go another million-plus miles." Delo oils incorporate ISOSYN® Technology, which combines premium base oils with high performance additives, helping to deliver extended service protection, maximized engine durability and minimized operating costs for companies like R.E. West. Upon inspection, the camshaft, engine bearings and cylinder rings showed only minimal wear. The pistons held no harmful carbon deposits, and the cylinder liners showed no cavitation and full cross-hatch. "We're delighted with the performance of the Delo 400 with ISOSYN Technology. The overall picture is, it's absolutely clean. There is absolutely no sludge," said Chevron Senior Scientist James McGeehan. "We've replaced door hinges, door latches, window regulators, all kinds of the parts that you're using in these years that you're operating the truck," West said. "But not the engine, not the transmission, not the rear ends, and we think a big part of that is Delo." The full R.E. West case study can be downloaded on the ChevronDelo.com website.
