PREMIUM LUBRICANTS

Construction is about making everything work together.

Behind every major project lies a combination of experience, technology, and equipment capable of meeting diverse demands. For decades, Chevron has developed lubrication solutions for multiple industries, understanding that every application presents unique challenges and that properly protecting equipment components is essential to maintaining performance. The construction industry is no exception. Excavators, loaders, compactors, motor graders, and other machines operate during long shifts under conditions that may include dust, contamination, heavy loads, and temperature fluctuations. And while each machine performs a different task, they all share a common need: keeping their systems protected and ready for continued operation.

Much of the heavy work happens under pressure.

Lifting tons of material—whether excavating, loading, pushing, grading, or compacting—relies heavily on systems capable of transmitting force precisely and efficiently. Consequently, the performance of transmissions and hydraulic systems is a decisive factor in the productivity of much construction equipment.

Heavy loads, pressure, temperature, and contamination can affect lubricant performance and accelerate component wear. Selecting the right fluid helps protect pumps, valves, gears, and other critical components, maintaining the properties needed to handle job-site conditions.

Protecting equipment also means knowing its condition.

Selecting the right lubricant is just one part of an effective maintenance strategy. With LubeWatch—Chevron’s used oil analysis program—you can monitor lubricant condition and gain insights that help detect trends, identify potential abnormalities, and make timely maintenance decisions:

In an industry where machinery availability directly impacts project progress, this information allows for a shift from maintenance based solely on drain intervals to decisions based on actual equipment condition—in other words, PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE.

From lubricant to reliability strategy. The insights gained through used-oil monitoring represent one of the tools developed by Chevron as part of its RBL Program. This program integrates premium-quality products, personalized services, and best lubrication practices to help optimize operations and maximize asset value.

From proper lubricant selection and handling to oil analysis and maintenance practice optimization, Chevron collaborates with customers to identify opportunities that restore equipment reliability, availability, durability, and efficiency.

Keeping a project moving requires more than just having machinery capable of doing the job; it also requires protecting that equipment, understanding its condition, and making the right decisions to ensure it continues to operate better and for longer.

Comprehensive protection for every part of the equipment.

Protection begins with the engine: Delo 400 XLE SB SAE 15W-40 is formulated for heavy-duty diesel engines and helps provide protection against wear and corrosion, maintaining engine performance in demanding applications.

However, construction equipment is much more than just its engine. Delo ELC coolants and antifreezes help maintain the cooling system, while Chevron Rykon greases provide protection at various lubrication points subjected to heavy loads and severe operating conditions.
