Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS This month, we have featured the coolants and antifreeze lines Chevron carries as our focus. It is our goal to remind everyone to check and top off their coolants before the weather turns cold. With these new...
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS Often, when we have a large number of light-duty vehicles, it can become difficult to track all of the coolants needed for each one as many vehicle manufacturers have started marketing their own coolants. What is...
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS More of today’s large fleets of vehicles contain CAB brazed materials in the coolant system. These aluminum systems can be hard to treat since most of the conventional coolants will react with these metals,...
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS Today’s modern cooling systems are made from aluminum. This allows for a lighter cooling system as well as better heat transfer. These modern cooling systems are assembled using a form of brazing called CAB....
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS High-Viscosity index oils offer many benefits for outdoor equipment. The value of high-viscosity index oil becomes apparent as we see changes in outdoor temperatures from hot to cold or cold to hot. The...
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS When we think of heavy-duty axles, we tend to think of wheel bearings in hubs. But let's not forget about the other components that require oil as well. We are also talking about differentials in trucks...
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS Heavy-Duty automatic transmissions use a torque converter to connect the driveline with a fluid coupling. As such, these are hydraulic-based systems that utilize a completely different fluid from other types of...
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS One of the newest advances in modern transmission technology is the advent of the automated manual transmissions (AMT). These transmissions offer the benefits of a manual transmission with the ease of use of an...
Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS Heavy-Duty trucks often come with manual transmissions, these are essentially a gearbox and use different oils than other transmissions. The oils used needs to be able to handle the job of keeping the metal...
