THE BEST ENGINE PROTECTION WITH NEW HAVOLINE ProDS
Protecting what’s important matters, and the new Havoline ProDS engine oils have been specifically designed to safeguard the latest generation of vehicles. This not only includes those fitted with low-emission, fuel efficient engines, but also the latest hybrid vehicles, too.
For over 100 years Havoline oils have been trusted by motorists to deliver the highest standard of engine protection, in order to provide the best performance possible. However, this oil technology has not only been honed on the road, but also in the heat and pressure of competition, whether that be on NASCAR®’s ovals, in the high-technology world of Formula 1®, or even Le Mans.
Ensuring that the deposits which rob an engine of its performance don’t build up, the Havoline ProDS range, developed using the latest Deposit Shield Technology from Texaco®, responds to the needs of your car. It delivers proactive protection and performance where it is needed most, exceeding even the toughest industry standards – regardless of the driving conditions.
Inside an engine
The inside of a modern engine is the scene of intense conflict. It’s a world where air molecules are combined with fuel, crushed, and then ignited, releasing tremendous energy and searing heat. And all this this happens up to 120 times each second.
As if that isn’t enough, car manufacturers are constantly working to get more from less: more performance, more economy, more refinement, all from engines that are becoming ever smaller. Engine development is travelling at a remarkable pace, and so the rate of oil development needs to keep up.
Benefitting from Chevron’s cutting edge oil technology, Havoline motor oil uses the latest developments. The company has a long history of leading the industry, including the invention of the modern process of hydrocracking called ISOCRACKING. This widely-adopted oil refining technique improves oil viscosity and removes impurities – something vital for long-term engine reliability and efficiency.
As a result, Havoline with Deposit Shield is proven to help maintain the critical components of an engine, increasing fuel economy and helping to protect the environment.
Improving efficiency
Today’s focus on greater economy and lower emissions has led to engines being reduced in size. Extracting more power from less fuel has also led to the increased use of turbocharging in addition to the increasing efficiency of fuel itself.
A key issue is that the smaller engines of today have less space available for oil. This means there is a need for a range of oils that perform at their ultimate efficiency from the second the engine is started, lubricating and protecting each vital moving part in an instant. And all of this has to happen despite there being less oil in the engine in the first place.
The advanced formulation of Havoline motor oil with Deposit Shield is scientifically proven to retain optimum viscosity, helping protect your engine against wear while protecting its fuel economy.
Deposit Shield Technology
The needs of today led Texaco to develop Deposit Shield Technology, which has been formulated to bond with the moving parts of an engine, helping protect them at the same time as helping prevent the build-up of harmful and efficiency-reducing deposits.
Deposit Shield makes a significant difference to engine wear levels. The protective layer is typically only two microns thick, but it helps by shielding vital engine components from harm.
Internal corrosion from exhaust gases is also an issue that will greatly reduce the efficiency of an engine over time, but Havoline with Deposit Shield helps to prevent such deterioration.
The latest Havoline oils keep protecting engines for longer, too. When oil has been in an engine for a long time, the lighter molecules evaporate and it starts to break down. This leaves behind a thicker, sludgy substance that is unable to protect the engine in the way an oil should. Engine wear is accelerated, performance is lessened and fuel consumption increased. Deposit Shield helps prevent this, helping to retain its viscosity and protective ability.
Not only does this maintain performance and increase economy, but it also offers better value for money as the oil doesn’t need replacing as frequently.
Protection in every condition
Oil has to provide absolute protection for an engine’s moving parts in every condition, whether that be soaring mid-summer temperatures in Accra, a mountain run in The Volta Basin or simply a shuffle in stop-start traffic.
Even though an engine’s internal surfaces may look glass-smooth to the naked eye, they actually look more like a ragged mountain range when viewed under a microscope. As these rough metal surfaces pass over each other under extreme pressure and heat, metal can be worn away, creating floating metal fragments, which themselves cause more wear. However, Havoline with Deposit Shield copes with any scenario.
With active ingredients it contains particles that are attracted to engine components and naturally fill in the microscopic dips, cracks and ridges a metal’s surface. The result is a smooth renewable barrier that will keep an engine running freely and efficiently.
The benefits are multiple. For example, Havoline with Deposit Shield keeps down friction between the piston and cylinder, reducing heat and preventing the build-up of carbon deposits. This means less opportunity for exhaust gases to escape, reducing emissions, increasing fuel economy and improving performance.
