Diesel-Electric Diary The Green Way There is a way to reduce your environmental impact and make a productive change. H ow? By using the Valvoline Fuel Economy Package, an investment that reduces environmental impact and lowers your total cost of ownership over time. The high viscosity index and low pour point allows for lower rolling frictional losses. To benefit from the Valvoline Fuel Economy Package, opt for Valvoline ProFleet and Valvoline SynPower engine, gearbox and axle oils, which have been designed to reduce friction in engines to deliver better fuel economy. These fully synthetic lubricants exceed industry standards and are perfectly designed for your fleet’s engines, gear boxes and axles. Valvoline ProFleet also exceeds ACEA and major OEM performance requirements providing extended oil drain intervals, which helps to lower operating costs and reduces the environmental impact through less consumption. The low friction technology of Valvoline ProFleet and Valvoline SynPower reduces the friction in piston ring assemblies, valve train systems and bearings, which makes up 80% of the total frictional losses in engines.
