Champion offers fuel economy calculator

July 17, 2013

Champion Oil has announced a new user-friendly fuel economy calculator for diesel fleets available on its website:www.championbrands.com.

“The transportation industry is focused on improving fuel economy,” said Karl Dedolph, fleet specialist for Champion. “Our new premium SAE 5W-30 UltraFleet API-CJ4 synthetic heavy-duty diesel motor oil can play a big factor on helping customers achieve their fuel economy goals. Champion’s on-line fuel economy calculator helps fleet operators and drivers determine the potential savings that can be achieved by using a new lower-viscosity heavy-duty motor oil.”

Backed by global certifications and extreme field and bench tests, Champion’s new formula provides the same level of engine protection as leading SAE 15W-40 HD motor oils, but with more end user benefits. Results from real-world field trials prove that Champion’s formulated and blended SAE 5W-30 UltraFleet heavy-duty diesel motor oil reduces engine wear and corrosion while maintaining viscometric properties. It also provides enhanced protection to engine and exhaust system components.

The formulation of Champion’s new lower-viscosity SAE 5W-30 UltraFleet heavy-duty diesel motor oil ensures durable protection while delivering real-world, measurable fuel economy gains. In fact, Champion’s SAE 5W-30 UltraFleet was found to deliver an average of 3.3% and up to 4.5% fuel economy improvement over a conventional SAE 15W-40 API CJ-4 lubricant tested at an independent testing facility using the SAE J1321 fuel test protocol.

Champion’s SAE 5W-30 UltraFleet heavy-duty diesel motor oil is formulated with a patented friction modifier system that enables the formulation of this SAE 5W-30 HD motor oil to reduce internal drag within engines, resulting in maximum engine power output. The new oil has a 50% faster time to pressurization than a traditional SAE 15W-40, leading to faster lubrication of valve train hardware and emissions system components.
