Chevron celebrates going 80 years and further with Delo

Tweet

​

Chevron Lubricants, maker of the Delo brand of technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and coolants, celebrated its 80th year of Delo brand. 

Delo (Diesel Engine Lubricating Oil) has been established since 1935. In the 1950s, the Delo brand pioneered the first successful multi-grade engine oil and delivered one of the first two oils approved for Caterpillar Series 3 – RPM Delo Supercharged-3 Oil.

In 1971, Chevron Delo 400 was introduced and became the first product in the industry to meet the diesel and gasoline service applications. In 1984, Chevron introduced the first all-hydro processed base oils, which set the standard for performance in the base oil industry. Later in the decade, Chevron was the first to extend a big diesel engine (CAT 3406B) life to 1.6 million kilometers without overhaul.

Chevron introduced Delo with ISOSYNTM Technology based on our ISODEWAXING process, resulting in mineral base oils with synthetic-like capabilities in 1993. In 1996, Delo became the first brand to demonstrate 1.6 million kilometers to overhaul in Detroit Diesel Series 60, Cummins NTC400/N-14 and Caterpillar 3406B engines and the first to meet the oil performance requirements of PC-7 (which later became API CH-4) without having to reformulate. Delo 400 Multigrade SAE 15W-40 became the first heavy duty diesel engine oil to meet the API CH-4, Cummins CES 20076 and Mack EO-M Plus extended drain specifications in 1998.

Today, Chevron’s Delo product family includes lubricants, coolants and greases. Delo products are found in all major industries including commercial transportation, construction, mining, agriculture and power generation. These performance benefits can be seen through the experiences of our customers in a variety of markets. 

“We are truly proud of Delo for successfully and continuously providing supreme protection to diesel engines for 80 years now. Like what we always say, we want smooth and worry-free drive and operation for our clients that’s why we constantly find ways to improve our products in order to deliver that promise,” shared Michelle Sayat, Chevron Philippines Marketing Manager for Lubricants. “We’ve done it for the last eight decades, and we will go further than that. We’re looking forward to servicing the Philippines for the next 80 years and more.”

Delo is a global brand, distributed by Chevron under Caltex master brand in Asia Pacific. More information on Delo products can be found at: www.DeloPerformance.com

Effortless Shopping tips to all Shoppers On the Go

Secure Shopping

· For mobile shopping, choose shopping sites with an app. It’s easier to use and most importantly, more secure as it’s harder to tamper with.

· Check news articles about the shopping site to ensure it’s not a temporary online shop that will disappear after pocketing your money.

· Ensure the shopping site has a return policy such as Lazada’s Buyer Protection: online shops without return policies can mean scam or unauthentic products.

· Do not give your password to anyone. Online shops’ email support or call support personnel should never require your password for identification.

· Only use your credit or debit card on sites with a padlock icon in the URL bar. This means the site uses secure communications to prevent any third-party eavesdropping.

· Check for security labels such as PCI-DSS certification. This means the shop has been audited and is certified safe to use.

· If you don’t receive an acknowledgement email from the online shop shortly after a purchase, there might be an issue with your purchase or it might be a scam. Call the site’s hotline to verify.

· If you strongly suspect you have been scammed and your credit card information has been stolen, contact your bank or credit card issuer to block the card and investigate.

Savvy Fashionistas

· Pick the right size by using the size chart feature, taking your measurements and checking carefully for any international conversions (UK, US, EU, Japan).

· Ensure the site has an exchange policy like Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy that enables you to return clothes within 7 days, and re-order the outfit in a size that fits you perfectly.

· Only shop for fashion on shopping apps that provide a few angles so you can see exactly how the clothes fit on the model or mannequin.

· Get your friends’ comments or ‘likes’ easily by sharing the item on Facebook or Instagram before buying.

· Read product details to check on the fabrication so you’ll know how the clothes feel on you.

Parenting Shoppers

· Spend quality time with your family instead of getting caught in traffic to the shopping mall. Shopping at the Lazada Mobile App lets you shop at your convenience, any time of the day!

· Diapers and milk powder are not only expensive, but heavy to carry. Look out for online promotions and take advantage of door-step delivery.

· Follow the Lazada Super Moms Facebook page and subscribe to the newsletters to get the latest deals delivered straight to you.

· Don’t let getting overwhelmed in crowded malls and toy stores stop you from giving the best to your kids. Shop for educational toys online, conveniently.

· If you’ve brought the wrong size of maternity clothes, take advantage of Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy. Return the wrong size within 14 days (30 for Vietnam), and re-order the outfit in the right size.

Tech Addicts

· Online shopping allows you to compare prices for your favourite gadget. Do keep a look out for sellers on the same site that may offer a bigger discount or bundle deal.

· Searching for phone accessories, power banks and covers is less overwhelming online as you can easily compare your options and colors, and sort them by price.

· Subscribe to Lazada’s newsletter or like our Facebook page to get news on exclusive and limited edition tech launches.

· When looking for a gadget in a specific model or colour, check out Lazada’s wide range online first. It’s better than visiting the retail store and discovering the gadget’s sold out.

Make Your Mark in Style with the LG G4 Stylus; LG introduces the newest addition to the LG G4 family

Tweet

A few months after the celebrated homecoming of the LG G4 in the Philippines, mobile technology innovator LG Electronics introduces a new member in what seems to be an LG G4 family in the works. Bearing almost similar features as the flagship LG G4, LG Mobile Philippines introduces the LG G4 Stylus.

Supreme display

The LG G4 Stylus inherits the arc shaped body similar to the flagship smartphone; the slim arc design allows for perfect comfortable grip of the user preventing the device to slip and drop from your hand. Take note though that the G4 Stylus is a phablet that has a relatively larger screen compared to the flagship. With a zero-gap in-cell hybrid touch technology with 5.7-inch HD IPS screen 720p display, the G4 Stylus is the perfect handset for those who value better viewing experience for games and movies or for those who take notes seriously.

Make your mark in style

As the name suggests, the LG G4 Stylus comes with an enhanced rubberdium stylus pen perfect for taking down notes and memos. Enjoy the 5.7-inch screen and scribble and doodle away on the built-in Quick Memo+ application on the G4 Stylus. The enhanced stylus pen works together with in-cell hybrid touch technology which makes the screen more responsive to touch contact and lets you surf the net with maximum ease, write down notes, draw, edit photos, and color with such accuracy and precision. Both the young and the old can make the most of the stylus pen with coloring book apps like Colorfy available in Playstore becoming a trend today. 

Inherited features

The G4 Stylus carries staple features such as the functional rear keys, Gesture Shot, Knock Code, as well as Glance View, and Front Camera Light for better selfies. The G4 Stylus maintains its removable back plate which reveals a microSD card slot to further expand its built-in 8GB of internal memory. It also features a 13-megapixel rear camera with Laser AutoFocus and a 5-megapixel front camera, Dual SIM functionality, 1.4 GHz Octa-core processor, 1GB RAM, exceptional 3,000mAh battery life, and Android 5.0 Lollipop OS out of the box.

The G4 Stylus retails at Php 10,990 and comes in Titan Black and White.

The leading broadband and digital services provider wraps up the first half of 2015 with a fresh and power-packed lineup, treating families to an ensemble of strong connectivity options and the most popular movies and TV shows all from their monthly subscription.

PLDT HOME joined forces with Smart Communications to establish the Entertainment Everywhere movement, first introduced through their breakthrough tie-up with Southeast Asia’s leading Internet TV service iflix. Families are given the sweet escapes and binge-watching moments they deserve with hit TV series and movies from the best content providers from around the world including top Hollywood, European, Asian and even local studios.

Entertainment Everywhere was levelled up immediately after with PLDT HOME and Smart’s partnership launch withFox International Channels, a global entertainment company and Asia Pacific’s leading broadcaster. Offers go beyond subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) content to include live and catch-up television on various Fox channels. Families are thus granted the power to keep up with every moment of the most thrilling sports events through live-viewing and enjoy the most popular blockbusters at their convenience through catch-up TV.

Having maximized its offerings within the home with voice, data and cable television services, the organic next step for PLDT HOME was to add a mobile offer, equipping consumers with the same strong and reliable connection when they step out of the house. With mobile connectivity completing the country’s first quadplay service, consumers can now also text, call, surf and enjoy iflix and Fox content anywhere and anytime without worrying about sky-high mobile bills.

“The first half of 2015 is momentous for PLDT HOME because of all the new opportunities that we introduced to Filipino families,” PLDT and Smart EVP and Consumer Business Group Head Ariel P. Fermin said. “From boundless entertainment to connectivity solutions, we are able to bundle all digital needs at home and even beyond the home. We still believe that the strongest connections are at home and we are committed to adding more and more value to our home-based offerings, fortifying a digitally connected lifestyle.”

“We are pleased to maintain PLDT HOME’s status as families’ broadband of choice this first half of the year with a commanding market share of over 70 percent. Our massive consumer base helped us create and develop these recent innovations which all funnel towards the digital sphere,” PLDT VP and HOME Marketing Head Gary Dujali added. “It is our mission to give more families access to these connectivity and entertainment services to enrich their lifestyles at home and wherever they go.”
