Customer Benefits
Delo XLC Antifreeze/Coolant products deliver value through:
- Optimal Service life
Service life tested up to 960,000 kilometres/12,000 hours/ 6 years with no Extender needed. - Excellent Protection
Excellent protection against pitting, corrosion and erosion even on hard to protect metals like aluminium. - Minimized maintenance and related costs
Helps minimize the need for regular testing with proper top-up practices and helps eliminate the need for supplemental coolant additives. - Heat Transfer
Excellent heat transfer compared to silicate containing coolants. - Hardware Life
Helps maximize water pump life due to no silicate formula. - Variable Applications
Excellent protection for heavy duty engines where the OEM specifies a nitrite free coolant. Can be used in all heavy-duty engines using reduced emission protocols including or combining EGR, DPF or ACERT technologies. This product is recommended for mixed fleet applications.1 - Wide Temperature Applications
Protection against winter freeze-up and summer boil-over. - Biodegradability
Biodegradable in its unused form. - Compatibility
Compatible with conventional antifreeze. Dilution with conventional antifreeze will reduce extended life benefits. Chevron recommends that this product not be diluted by more than 25% with other coolant formulations. - Stability
Can be stored for approximately 8 years in sealed containers without any effect on the product quality or performance.
Product features
- Delo XLC Antifreeze/ Coolant is a heavy-duty, ethylene glycol based engine coolant which incorporates patented organic corrosion inhibitor technology called aliphatic carboxylates.
- Delo XLC is a nitrite, nitrate, borate, phosphate, silicate, and aminefree formulation that is designed to provide maximum protection of the six basic metal alloys found in most heat transfer systems.
- Delo XLC products do not contain phosphates or silicates which are known to contribute to hard water scale issues.
- Delo XLC promotes maximum water pump seal life by eliminating inorganic corrosion inhibitors.
- Delo XLC has a recommended service life of 960,000 kilometers/12,000 hours/ 6 years. This product will not require the addition of SCA’s to achieve its recommended service life. Routine visual inspections, coolant topoff and annual testing are recommended to ensure maximum service life.
- Note: These products are not to be used to protect the inside of potable water systems against freezing.
Applications
Recommended applications for Delo XLC Antifreeze/Coolant:
- Heavy duty engines regardless of fuel type or environmental controls being used where the OEM recommends a nitrite free, silicate free coolant.
- Mixed fleets where automobiles, light duty trucks and heavy duty trucks are being serviced and the OEM recommends a nitrite free, silicate free product.2
- Recreational vehicles where a nitrite free, silicate free product is recommended.

Service Considerations
Product Dilution and Boil Over Protection Recommendations
For Delo XLC Antifreeze/Coolant – Concentrate
Boiling Protection, °C/°F (using a 15 lb pressure cap)
- 50% 1:1 (1 part antifreeze/1 part water) 129.4/265
Freezing Protection, °C/°F
- 33% 33:67 (33 parts antifreeze/67parts water) -19/-2.2
- 40% 2:3 (2 parts antifreeze/3 parts water) -26/-14.8
- 50% 1:1 (1 part antifreeze/1 part water) -37/-34.6
- 60% 3:2 (3 parts antifreeze/2 parts water) -50/-58
Notes
- Product concentrates should be agitated before use or dilution.
- Delo XLC Antifreeze/Coolant – Premixed 50/50 should be used as purchased.
No dilution is recommended. - For maximum protection against freezing in extremely cold areas, a 60 percent solution of Delo XLC Antifreeze/Coolant – Concentrate (3 parts antifreeze/2 parts water) can be used. Concentrations greater than 67 percent are not recommended.
- Always dispose of used coolant in accordance with local, state and federal guidelines.
Product Reference

- Product Code: 510609 – Delo XLC Antifreeze/Coolant – Premixed 50/50
The primary limiting factor in the shelf life of a coolant is silicate instability. Since silicate will eventually polymerize to silicate gel, silicate containing coolants have a shelf life of approximately 18 months. Delo XLC Antifreeze/Coolant is silicate-free and can be stored for 8 years, provided the container remains sealed. Product should be agitated before use.
