The focus of the consolidation is on retaining the best products from Chevron’s global portfolio, assuring customers have technology that has been proven in both the lab and the field. Chevron has built its new HDAX Gas Engine Oil line in a way that simplifies the product selection process.

In this new configuration, customers will find HDAX 7000, 5000 and 3000 series products, with higher numbers indicating a greater level of performance. Different products will be available at each tier (e.g., HDAX 5500, HDAX 5300) to meet varying market and application needs.
