Chevron Neutral Oils are all-hydroprocessed, highly refined API Group II paraffinic base stocks. Their extremely low sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic content give them excellent thermal and oxidation stability.

These base oils provide excellent cold flow performance because the ISODEWAXING® catalyst and technology convert almost all of the wax in the feed into branched compounds.

Chevron Neutral Oils offer the following characteristics relative to typical Group I (solvent refined) base stocks:

• Lower volatility and cold cranking simulator (CCS) viscosity to meet modern engine oil specifications such as ILSAC GF-3
• Better oxidation and thermal stability
• Lower aromatics, sulfur and nitrogen
• Improved response to pour point depressants
• Improved soot dispersancy in heavy duty motor oil formulations

Chevron Neutral Oil 5R is a 5 cSt Group II "plus" base stock with a typical viscosity index of 115-117. It was designed to meet the low volatility requirements of next generation (ILSAC GF-3) passenger car motor oils while maintaining API Group II status.

Applications

When combined with properly selected additives, Chevron Neutral Oils are ideal for blending a wide variety of finished products, including:
