HIGH-SLUDGE DIETS
UN SNEAK UP ON YOU.
Who needs shorter engine life and higher oil consumption caused by sludge?
Not Rolf Sjostrom, Chief Engineer of the Scotia Prince — a cruise ship that runs from Portland, Maine, to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and back, 22 hours per day, averaging 18 knots — over a grueling six-month season. "Our scraper rings were clogged by sludge 90% of the time," says Rolf. 'Then we switched to Delo® 3000. The cleanup was impressive... after two seasons... no more clogged rings... reduced exhaust smoke... and the pistons, liners, rings... everything stays remarkably clean."
Cleanup performance is what you can expect from Chevron Delo
Marine Oils for trunk piston engines. Each grade features an advanced formula that virtually eliminates black sludge buildup.
You can count on outstanding wear protection, too. "With over 116,000 hours of service, we're still running with 65% of the original liners... we've been using Delo 3000 in these two Pielstick PC-2 V-18s since 1982... that's pretty good protection against wear!"
It all translates into direct savings: fewer complications due to sludge; reduced piston, ring and liner wear; cleaner, easier teardowns.
And you'll get something no other oil can deliver: the industry's highest level of customer service. For more information call: U.S. 1-800-462-4478; outside
