Malaysia: Chevron Introduces Caltex Diesel With TechronD

Caltex Diesel with Techron®D is proven to control deposits, helps maintain fuel injector cleanliness and optimum engine performance.  The launch of Caltex Diesel with Techron®D is part of Chevron’s fuels marketing strategy to offer differentiated, quality fuel products to motorists.  The new EURO2M specifications compliant Caltex Diesel with Techron®D has been available at all Caltex service stations nationwide since September 1, 2009 and replaces Caltex’s previous non-additized  diesel offering. 

Caltex™ service stations will retail Caltex Diesel with Techron®D at the same government mandated price as the previous diesel product, even though it is a new formulation with additional product benefits. 

In a diesel engine, keeping the fuel injectors clean is critical as diesel fuel injectors are prone to deposits clogging.  Deposits can upset the injector spray pattern and hinder the fuel-air mixing process and this can result in decreased fuel economy, increased emissions and compromise engine performance.  In the very latest engines, each hole in a fuel injector may be as small as the width of two human hairs. The potential for negative impact from injector deposits is increasing as diesel engines become more sophisticated. 

During the course of its development, Chevron tested the performance of the Techron®D additive in both old and new diesel engines, as well as in a range of diesel specifications including biodiesel blends, and it has proven to work well with all.

This ensures that the new Caltex Diesel with Techron®D is suitable for all diesel vehicles and meets Malaysia’s diesel quality standards as well as Chevron’s strict quality standards for all Caltex fuels.  All Caltex™ petrol and diesel offerings across its nationwide network of more than 420 service stations are EURO2M specifications compliant since September 1, 2009.
