Solution

After conducting an optimization study, ExxonMobil engineers recommended the company use Mobil Delvac™ Extreme 15W-40 high performance diesel engine oil. A premium synthetic blend diesel engine oil formulated with a boosted additive system**, Mobil Delvac Extreme 15W-40 diesel engine oil provides excellent wear protection and exceptional oxidation stability*** that can help operators improve performance for up to double OEM recommended ODIs****. In addition, ExxonMobil engineers recommended implementing routine Mobil Serv℠ Lubricant Analysis to monitor oil and engine condition once oil drain intervals are extended.

Results

After using Mobil Delvac™ Extreme 15W-40 diesel engine oil, Liberty Oilfield Services safely extended oil drain intervals across its fleet from 750 hours to 1,500 hours and reduced oil consumption by 10,400 gallons. As a result, the company experienced enhanced productivity and safety benefits, generating company-estimated savings of US $135,200.
