Delo® protects excavators

Bumper to bumper 

Large construction excavators work in the harshest environments and require premium lubricants and coolants to achieve high-level reliability and performance at the lowest total operating costs. 

The Delo® family of lubrication products has you covered with outstanding protection in diesel engines, transmissions, gears and coolant systems. Choosing the proven performance of Delo® quality lubricants supports an operator’s need for optimal reliability and performance under all operating conditions and for long periods of time. This could mean a higher return on investment, hour after hour. 

Severe duty applications typically have lower drain intervals relative to other duty cycles. See OEM recommendations for drain interval recommendations.

The product recommendations on 0800 733 835 provide general guidelines for use in tractors. All tractor manufacturers have different coolant and lubricant requirements and recommendations. It will be important to contact a Caltex representative or refer to the Original Equipment Manufacturer manual to confirm the proper product is used for the application.
