Material Notes:
FeaturesChevron Unconventional Base Oils (UCBOs) are all hydroprocessed, highly refined paraffinic base oils of exceptional performance and purity.Relative to conventional hydroprocessed and solvent refined base oils, Chevron UCBOs offer:Lower volatility and cold cranking simulator (CCS) viscosity to meet modern engine oil specifications such as ILSAC GF-3Extremely low aromatics, sulfur and nitrogen levelsExceptional resistance to oxidation and thermal degradationVery high viscosity indicesExceptional cranking and pumpability at low temperaturesImproved viscosity and film strength at high temperaturesSubstantially reduced volatilityBetter lubricity which translates to better energy efficiencyChevron UCBOs also offer all of the advantages of Chevron Neutral Oils, such as superior soot dispersancy in compounded motor oils and excellent response to pour point depressants.ApplicationsChevron UCBOs are compatible with a wide range of additives, and are excellent base oils for use in any application where high oxidation and thermal stability, exceptional low- or high-temperature performance, or low volatility is required.Chevron UCBOs can be blended with any of todays conventional base oils or polyalphaolefins to achieve desired characteristics, or used alone to achieve synthetic-level performance.In the Very High VI Group III category, Chevron UCBOs are available in two viscosity grades:4 cSt at 100°C7 cSt at 100°CThese Group III Chevron UCBOs are excellent alternatives to synthetic base stocks for many applications.Specific products where they may provide enhanced performance benefits include:Passenger Car Motor OilsHeavy Duty Motor OilsSmall Engine OilsAutomatic Transmission FluidsGear OilsHydraulic and Power Transmission FluidsCompressor OilsMetalworking Fluids
