* Sweden - Mobil Delvac 1 synthetic engine oil helps Swedish transport company achieve 2% fuel economy
-- In recent trials in Sweden, an independent haulage company achieved 2 per cent fuel savings through use of a low-viscosity, Mobil Delvac™-branded synthetic engine oil. Mertz Transport AB, which operates a fleet of 115 trucks of various makes and is based in Malmö in Sweden’s southernmost county, conducted the trial with two trucks using different synthetic engine oils between December 2013 and October 2014... The 10-month trial, which followed discussions about fuel costs between Mertz Transport and ExxonMobil’s sales and technical engineers in Sweden, involved two new Mercedes Actros Euro V trucks. One used ExxonMobil’s Mobil Delvac™ XHP LE 10W-40 engine oil with the other using lower viscosity Mobil Delvac 1™ LE 5W-30. Both oils meet Mercedes-Benz’s required MB 228.51 lubricant specification for low-ash multigrade engine oils... Both trucks drove the same route with the same freight, between Malmö in southern Sweden and Gothenburg on Sweden’s west coast. The truck using the lower viscosity engine oil, Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30, witnessed a 2 per cent gain in fuel economy, which could translate into a financial saving of SEK 8,454 (ca. £644) per truck, including all related expenses, such as filters and waste oil...
