NASCAR, Comcast Reach 10-Year Series Entitlement Agreement
Comcast's XFINITY brand will become only the third title sponsor of the series 'Where Names Are Made.' (Photo courtesy of NASCAR)
DAYTONA BEACH, FL and PHILADELPHIA, PA
NASCAR and Comcast announced today a historic agreement that will make Comcast's XFINITY brand the title sponsor of what is now known as the NASCAR Nationwide Series through 2024. The 10-year term matches the longest single agreement around title sponsorship of any NASCAR national series in history, and is the longest entitlement sponsorship agreement in this series' history.
Related Content
Beginning January 1, 2015, the property will be known as the NASCAR XFINITY Series. XFINITY will become only the third title sponsor in series history following Anheuser-Busch (26 years) and Nationwide Insurance (seven years). The agreement also makes XFINITY an Official NASCAR Partner in the multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) and broadband ISP categories.
The announcement was made during an event at the NASCAR Hall of Fame – where the sport's history is celebrated every day – and was the first series entitlement sponsorship ever announced at the venue.
XFINITY is Comcast's residential service brand and is the nation's largest video and high-speed Internet provider. The company has increased Internet speeds for existing customers 13 times in 12 years and recently introduced XFINITY on the X1 Entertainment Operating System. The company also offers XFINITY On Demand, the most robust video on demand platform in the world. Comcast serves business and residential customers in 39 states and Washington, D.C.
"We're proud to welcome XFINITY to the NASCAR community as title sponsor of the NASCAR XFINITY Series for the next decade," said Brian France, NASCAR Chairman & CEO. "NASCAR and XFINITY are each leader brands with much in common. Both are focused on innovation and have products built for speed. Together, we will work to take this series to new heights and elevate one of the most unique and powerful partnerships in all of sports."
What will soon be known as the NASCAR XFINITY Series is the property where names are made and is like nothing else in major pro sports. It features the most talented young drivers regularly competing side-by-side against NASCAR's biggest and brightest stars.
"Technology lives at the heart of NASCAR, just as it does for XFINITY," said Dave Watson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Comcast Cable. "NASCAR provides an exciting environment in which to showcase our video and Internet products and we look forward to further enhancing the fan experience at home, at the track and on the go for years to come."
The series also has a large, highly engaged and technology-connected television audience. It races in some of the nation's largest markets – from Chicago to Los Angeles to Miami – and at the sport's biggest and most iconic tracks – from Daytona International Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway, to Talladega Superspeedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
According to NASCAR Fan Engagement Tracker 2013 (commissioned by NASCAR and conducted by Toluna), NASCAR fans spend an average of four-and-a-half hours each week watching NASCAR on television and an additional two-and-a-half-hours each week following the sport on digital platforms.
XFINITY is among the premier sponsors in sports today and a robust sponsorship activation program is part of the new agreement with NASCAR, with aggressive planning already underway.
Comcast's involvement with NASCAR is expanding rapidly. In addition to the NASCAR XFINITY Series announced today, Comcast's NBC Sports unit will begin broadcasting NASCAR race events in July 2015.
After a successful seven-year run as series entitlement sponsor, Nationwide Insurance pivoted its marketing programs to become a NASCAR team sponsor next season. Nationwide also is the official auto, home, life and business insurance partner of NASCAR.
The NASCAR Nationwide Series will make its return to Richmond International Raceway for the Virginia529 College Savings 250 on September 5, and will be aired on ESPN2. The first race of the 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series season, and of the new partnership, will be during Daytona Speedweeks on February 21, 2015, at the famed Daytona International Speedway.

In DU, unions change but little do manifestos
New Delhi: A few hot ticket topical problems like concerns of sportspersons and students from the northeast found their way in the election manifestos of the two main student groups in Delhi University but a bulk of issues appear to have remained consistent over the years.
Days ahead of another student union election in the varsity, both NSUI and ABVP -- the student wings of Congress and BJP respectively - brought out their manifestos today amid much media glare.
While hard hitting language and promises to help make the University world class are elements that are consistent in the manifestos, so is the case with a majority of demands.
Opening of more colleges, starting of evening classes in more colleges, better infrastructure and lab facilities and free bus passes and discount in Metro fares are some of the issues that keep appearing in election agendas year after year.
Improvements have taken place.
The DUSU fund was increased recently from Rs 3.6 lakh to Rs 20 lakh disposal, putting more funds at the disposal of the union to help their efforts.
"We need genuine students who know the University and its issues to fight elections and form the union. We have been pressing for the acceptance of these demands and we will continue to do so," said Ankit Dhananjoy Choudhry, ABVP`s presidential candidate.
Asked why the issues that need intervention keep repeating themselves, and whether this shows that successive unions have not worked, he said, "All issues cannot be resolved quickly, but ask students in the campus, it is ABVP activists who have consistently raised their demands and concerns."
Thanks to the much-publicised case of India`s U-19 cricket star Unmukt Chand, the NSUI`s election manifesto has a topical edge.
"The case of sportspersons is very important. Our demand is that they should not only be compensated for attendance but also be given marks for sports," said Arun Hooda, the NSUI presidential candidate.
The NSUI manifesto also demands that the University
compensate NCC cadets with attendance.
The recent raid and copyright violation lawsuit against the University and a photocopy establishment by publishers also found its way in the discussion and things that need attention.
"The NSUI demands that the University should tie up with publishers to make low-cost editions of course books and related readings available," read the manifesto.
With the recent exodus of northeast students from several cities following rumours and hoax threats fresh in minds, the issue of safety and discrimination of students from the region is also a part of the political debate.
While the NSUI cites its North East Students Cell in Delhi, ABVP has demanded a `Grievance Redressal Committee` for students from the northeast to deal with discrimination and other complaints.
Other demands that have again figured in the manifestos this year are more steps like building of ramps to make the campus friendly for disabled students, decentralisation of admission process for SC/ST students and making DU a closed campus to ensure better security.
While demands are aplenty, how much a students union can exert influence over authorities is another issues.
"A communication channel with the administration is a major problem. Officials do not meet us. If they do regularly and there is better coordination between students representatives and administration, things would be better," admits Rohit Chahal.

Sweet. Might not hurt to poop on the floor anyway.
He brought over a 20 dollar bottle of wine. Who does that? This is college.
I had my own version of the Hangover last night. I woke up to a disassembled Christmas tree, shit on the futon, and a hamster in the bathroom with a necklace on that said "Feed Me Bitch." I don't own a hamster. I don't know what I drank last night, but I want to do it again.
I feel like I would bang a guy with a dick piercing just to say I have...like climbing a huge mountain or somethig
Good thing I was dressed to impress in my "I went nuclear on my wings" shirt even the girls are making out and I'm still 7th wheeling it...
Either this is the best sandwich I've ever had, or my stomach is just relieved to have something in it that's not Red Bull or semen.
I am a human short and spout . Here is my jager Herr is my redbull . When i get real drink i shout out. Tip me over and pour yeager out
I could probably do something when Im able to get enough strength to think about thinking about to stand.
I told him he was a man of science and that he should conduct experiments on my tits to see how they stay up. I need you to hold onto my larynx when I'm drunk.
And I might have stolen a bag of Doritos out of Matt's car and hid them in my bag and gave individual chips out to people dancing, trying to convince people they were mini tacos.. Like why Am I allowed to be an adult
Somehow I ended up in a different costume dancing with some tree of a guy in the basement bathroom, what did you give me?
Honestly, this is a first for me. I've always prided myself on my ability to pretend to get along with others.

UGC directive on campus security measures for women
New Delhi: In the backdrop of the Delhi gang-rape incident, UGC has directed all institutions of higher learning to review and strengthen security measures for women and girls in their campuses.
In a letter to the vice chancellors and directors of institutes of higher learning in the country, UGC acting chairman Ved Prakash also expressed the need for gender sensitisation courses in the education system.
"I take this opportunity to request you to seriously review the security arrangements for girls and women in our university campuses and wherever necessary, these arrangements may be further strengthened both in and around the girl`s hostels on the campuses," he wrote in the letter.
Prakash also said that the measures are necessary to ensure that girls and women have a safe and inspiring learning environment in the campuses.
He highlighted the need for safe and secure working environment to women in the colleges and educational institutions.
"There is a need to ensure safe working environment for the women employees in the offices for their academic and professional responsibilities," Prakash said.
He also suggested putting in place a task force to review the existing arrangement.
"You may consider putting in place a dedicated task force comprising senior colleagues, which can constantly monitor the existing arrangements and the additional ones put into operation," he said.
On including gender sensitisation modules in the courses, Prakash said, there is a need to have gender sensitisation modules in curricular areas of higher education.
"Periodic discourse on such concerns among faculty and students in which girls and women could be an integral part, can probably lay the foundation for the creation of healthy mindsets," he said.

Title: Native alternative for Japanese Red Maple in Oklahoma
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Mr. Smarty Plants, I am looking for a native alternative to a Japanese Red Maple. I would like a small tree that I can put in my front garden that will not pose a security risk my being overgrown and too large. We thought the Japanese Red Maple would be nice, because it is a smaller and more contained tree, but I do not want to introduce a non-native plant. PLEASE HELP!
ANSWER:Mr. Smarty Plants can offer several attractive small native trees for Oklahoma as an alternative to Japanese maple. Here are a few of them:
Cotinus obovatus (American smoketree)
Rhus lanceolata (prairie sumac)Cercis canadensis (eastern redbud)
Chionanthus virginicus (white fringetree)
Cornus drummondii (roughleaf dogwood)
Cornus florida (flowering dogwood)
Prunus mexicana (Mexican plum)
Viburnum rufidulum (rusty blackhaw)
You can do a COMBINATION SEARCH in our Native Plant Database to see other possibilities by choosing Oklahoma from the Select State or Province category and 'Tree' from the Habit (general appearance) category.

SolidFire Releases Infographic Illustrating the Impact of Noisy Neighbors in the Cloud
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BOULDER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- SolidFire, a leader in all-solid-state (SSD) storage systems designed for the cloud, released a new infographic to illustrate the broad impact that "Noisy Neighbors" can have across a shared storage infrastructure. The graphic outlines the performance variability caused by Noisy Neighbors as well as the impact on the number of support calls, ticket count, and engineering resources required to respond to poor application performance.
When evaluating a service provider or moving a critical workload to the cloud, enterprises have no idea what applications will be sharing the same infrastructure. With applications designed to consume as many resources as are available for a task, Noisy Neighbors can quickly consume a disproportionate amount of available Input/Output Per Second (IOPS) killing the performance of the applications around them. Yet the problem is not limited to the applications next door, either. The "blast radius" of a Noisy Neighbor extends well beyond its immediate vicinity the way a rowdy party in one apartment will surely bother the folks next door and wake others several floors above. SolidFire's new infographic breaks down the problem by defining the blast radius of a Noisy Neighbor, and proposes a solution for improving storage Quality of Service (QoS) for cloud providers and the companies they serve.
"The performance variability caused by Noisy Neighbors is a critical issue keeping enterprise-grade applications from being deployed in the cloud," says Jason Carolan, CTO of ViaWest. "The majority of cloud providers try to get around this issue by manually overprovisioning volumes or moving volumes to dedicated hardware at a great expense to themselves and their customers. ViaWest has taken a much different approach to delivering predictable performance to enterprise applications that is far more efficient and cost effective." According to a recent CIO survey, enterprises currently do not trust that cloud infrastructure is capable of running their business-critical and performance sensitive applications. "Performance variability and inconsistent application delivery is one of the primary hesitations around deploying mission-critical applications in a cloud infrastructure," stated Philbert Shih, managing director of Structure Research. "It is not until providers can guarantee application performance that we will find more production applications deployed in the cloud." "It is important to understand that delivering guaranteed quality of service in storage is not as easy as adding it as a feature. True quality of service is an architectural concept that must be considered, and implemented, at the very core of storage product design," says CEO of SolidFire, Dave Wright. "Quality of Service (QoS) capability is essential for both cloud providers and cloud consumers. Without QoS, achieving predictable performance within a multi-tenant cloud is virtually impossible." About SolidFireSolidFire delivers high-performance data storage systems for cloud service providers. Leveraging an all-flash scale-out storage architecture with patented volume-level quality-of-service (QoS) controls, providers can now guarantee storage performance to thousands of applications within shared infrastructures. By using real-time data reduction techniques and system-wide automation, SolidFire is fueling new and profitable block-storage services that are advancing the way the world uses the cloud.

Curiosity extends 7-foot robotic arm for testing
Washington: NASA Mars rover curiosity is spending several days preparing for full use of the tools on its arm.
Curiosity extended its robotic arm Wednesday in the first of 6-10 consecutive days of planned activities to test the 7-foot (2.1-meter) arm and the tools it manipulates.
"We will be putting the arm through a range of motions and placing it at important 'teach points' that were established during Earth testing, such as the positions for putting sample material into the inlet ports for analytical instruments," said Daniel Limonadi of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., lead systems engineer for Curiosity's surface sampling and science system.
"These activities are important to get a better understanding for how the arm functions after the long cruise to Mars and in the different temperature and gravity of Mars, compared to earlier testing on Earth," Limonadi noted.
Since the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) spacecraft placed Curiosity inside Mars' Gale Crater on Aug. 5 (Aug. 6 EDT), the rover has driven a total of 358 feet (109 meters). The drives have brought it about one-fourth of the way from the landing site, named Bradbury Landing, to a location selected as the mission's first major science destination, Glenelg.
"We knew at some point we were going to need to stop and take a week or so for these characterization activities. For these checkouts, we need to turn to a particular angle in relation to the Sun and on flat ground. We could see before the latest drive that this looked like a perfect spot to start these activities," said Michael Watkins, JPL's Curiosity mission manager.
The work at the current location will prepare Curiosity and the team for using the arm to place two of the science instruments onto rock and soil targets. In addition, the activities represent the first steps in preparing to scoop soil, drill into rocks, process collected samples and deliver samples into analytical instruments.
Checkouts in the next several days will include using the turret's Mars Hand Lens Imager to observe its calibration target and the Canadian-built Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer to read what chemical elements are present in the instrument's calibration target.
"We're still learning how to use the rover. It's such a complex machine -- the learning curve is steep," said JPL's Joy Crisp, deputy project scientist for the MSL Project, which built and operates Curiosity.
After the arm characterization activities at the current site, Curiosity will proceed for a few weeks eastward toward Glenelg. The science team selected that area as likely to offer a good target for Curiosity's first analysis of powder collected by drilling into a rock. (

The "Texas Tribune" reports that Citizens Medical Center in Victoria, Texas won't hire anyone with a BMI above 35. CEO David Brown offers an odd explanation: "The majority of our patients are over 65, and they have expectations that cannot be ignored in terms of personal appearance." So, old people don't like fat people? Even if this were true, it doesn't seem to have much bearing on actual medical care.
The policy is apparently legal — Texas has no laws prohibiting weight discrimination in hiring (in fact, only the state of Michigan and six U.S. cities do). But criticism is unsurprisingly flying. Suzanne Lucas of CBS points out that the hospital could still get in legal trouble if anyone can show that its BMI requirements have "a disproportionate impact on a particular group" (she mentions African-American women, who tend to have higher BMI than the national average). She also is surely not alone in thinking the policy is bad PR: "Now if you Google 'Victoria Hospital Texas,' three references to the obesity policy show up on the the first page of hits. Is that what you want prospective patients, donors, and employees to know about you? Probably not."
But Citizens Medical Center isn't the first — or even most high profile — company to get involved in employees' weight. In 2010, Whole Foods instituted the Team Member Healthy Discount Program, which offered higher employee discounts to those with lower BMIs. The program drew a lot of criticism at the time — one customer told the "New York Daily News," "This is really stupid. They are judging people on how they look."
But while the controversy appears to have died down, the program remains in place. According to the company's 2011 annual report, "In fiscal year 2011, approximately 15,000 team members participated in biometric screenings, with nearly 8,300 receiving higher-level discount cards compared to approximately 7,000 team members at the end of fiscal year 2010." And a representative for the company confirmed to me that the program is ongoing as of this year.
Meanwhile, the BMI controversy no longer shows up on the first page of Google hits for Whole Foods (though a Slate story called, "The Dark Secrets of Whole Foods" does), or on the company's Wikipedia page. Insofar as the BMI discount was bad PR for the company, they appear to have outrun it, at least for now.
But Citizens Medical may run into a different problem. Though the hospital's CEO boldly states the regulation is about "appearance," he'd probably still run into trouble if he tried to pass it off as a way to monitor employee health. CBS's Lucas points out that "BMI is actually a poor predictor of health." Indeed, Whole Foods admitted as much in a "Healthy Heart" newsletter released in February: "Studies show that fat around the belly (abdominal fat) may be more of an indicator of heart disease risk than weight or BMI."
And a study released just this week found that BMI fails to accurately measure body fat. Study co-author Eric Braverman told NBC, "BMI doesn't tell you how much fat … you have. So without knowing how much fat you have, you can't really save people from illness." Since Citizens Medical is in the business of keeping people healthy, they ought to know that the connection between BMI and health is looking increasingly tenuous.

Surprise! GOP Governors "Stonewall" Key ObamaCare Provision
Talking Points Memo is shocked, shocked!, that Republican governors would leave the job of setting up the exchanges to the Central Government Planning Office
Late last week more than a dozen Republican governors declared that they will not build the insurance market exchanges called for by the Affordable Care Act, including prominent names like Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, John Kasich of Ohio, Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Rick Perry of Texas.
On Monday, Gov. Mary Fallin of Oklahoma joined them, declaring in a statement that it "does not benefit Oklahoma taxpayers to actively support and fund a new government program that will ultimately be under the control of the federal government."
Most people still do not want ObamaCare implemented. It still polls negatively. And Republicans will do all they can to gum up the works of a law that was rammed through the Senate and House.
The Obama administration wants states to build the exchanges so they have an incentive to make the law work. If the federal government takes over, state-level Republicans have a scapegoat in case things go wrong.
That's part of the reason, but, there is a bigger reason
The more states stonewall the exchanges, the more it complicates the task of the federal government. One challenge is that the law lacks an automatic funding mechanism for HHS to set up state exchanges. Enrollment is slated to begin next October, and the exchanges are scheduled to start functioning by January 2014.
So far, over a dozen Republican governors have opted to let the Central Government deal with setting up exchanges. Others have not decided as of yet, but will surely opt for federal exchanges. First, they do not want to be on the hook for helping create an exchange. Second, as mentioned, this puts the blame in Obama's hands. Third, as mentioned, there is no funding mechanism. When the special interests, healthcare companies, and insurance companies wrote the 2,700 page law that no one who provided a "yea" vote for read, they forgot to provide funding to set up and administrate federally run exchanges. And the slush fund for HHS is "only" a billion dollars, not enough to do the job.
The law is also rather murky on the legality of the Central Government setting up federally run exchanges.
So, yes, Republicans are going to gum up the works. Perhaps Democrats should have read the Bill before passing it. Because the GOP controlled House will not allow changes to strengthen the ACA under any circumstances.

Comments Thread For: Photos: Jorge Arce Returns To The Ring With a Bang
Back for the first time since last December's big knockout loss to Nonito Donaire, former four division world champion Jorge Travieso Arce (61-7-2, 46 KOs) started his campaign in the featherweight division with an eight round knockout over late replacement Jose Carmona (22-4, 12 KOs) at the Domo de San Luis Potosí in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Carmona tried hard, but Arce stepped on the gas as the fight played out and then put his punches together to put Carmona away in the eight.

WhatsApp started to work again Saturday afternoon after the messaging app that Facebook is buying for $19 billion had some technical trouble.
Associated Press reporters noticed that the app wasn't functioning Saturday starting at about noon PST, but by 2:30 p.m., Twitter users around the world began saying WhatsApp is working again.
WhatsApp and Facebook didn't responded to emails seeking comment, but the WhatsApp Status account on Twitter said service had been restored and apologized for the downtime.
Service outages are common for rapidly growing technology companies, and the WhatsApp Status account has tweeted about an outage about once a month going back through May.
WhatsApp, launched in 2009, has 450 million users globally. Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts it will reach 1 billion in a few years.

Grave sculpture stolen
Relevant offers
Widower Robin Davies is devastated and appalled after the theft of a treasured sculpture from his late wife's grave.
He noticed the piece missing from its usual position next to the headstone at the North Shore Memorial Park cemetery in Albany on February 16.
He says the bullrush flower sculpture, made from galvanised steel and heavy natural stone, was put there after he bought it in 2009 - one year after his wife died.
"My wife was always a very keen gardener which is why I thought it a particularly appropriate piece to place by her memorial."
Mr Davies immediately reported the theft to staff at the cemetery office who have promised to keep a look out in case it has been thrown into bush on the property, rather than stolen.
"The cemetery is an open access place, but is not specifically policed for grave-robbers," he says.
"I'm sure most people would assume that grave-robbing was a thing of the past - obviously not on the North Shore."
No complaints have been made to police, there is no security camera footage and no witnesses have come forward.
"I spend quite a lot of time at the grave site, going there for chats with my wife and particularly to calm myself down at times when my loneliness and sadness overcome me."
Mr Davies says that he will always be reminded of the theft when he visits.
"I will always be conscious of the fact that it has been stolen by some useless scumbag and probably sold via a car-boot sale."

School With Imaginary Common Sense Suspends Seven Year Old For Imaginary Hand Grenades
The geniuses who run our public schools have now moved on from suspending children for pointing chicken fingers at each other and saying "bang" to sending kids home for possessing IMAGINARY hand grenades.
In Loveland Colorado, about 45 minutes North of Denver, a 7-year-old 2nd grader has been suspended for trying to save the world. It appears that the boy lobbed "an imaginary grenade into a box with what he called pretend evil forces inside."
According to the child, he pretended to blow up the box "so nothing can get out and destroy the world."
If only the idiots who run that school were imaginary, then something this punishingly stupid would have never happened.

Keep Machinery Well-Oiled and Lubed
Oils and lubricants are important to keep equipment properly maintained and running smoothly…and to keep operating costs down.
by Kerry Clines, Senior Editor
Engine oil provides advanced performance
Valvoline says its Premium Blue Engine Oil is designed to provide advanced lubricant performance in modern emissions-treatment-equipped diesel engines, including all types of exhaust gas recirculation and diesel particulate filters. Features include: dispersive polymer technology for soot control and cold-start protection; valvetrain wear protection and reduced oil filter restriction at high soot levels; high-temperature deposit control; and more.
D-A Lubricant Co.
Gear lubricant offers anti-wear protection
D-A Lubricant Co., Inc.'s GTD gear lubricant is designed for gear trains and severe service equipment, such as rock crushers, that require an extreme pressure lubricant. The company says it provides excellent anti-wear protection under heavy loads while also guarding against rust and corrosion, even when the system is idle. The lubricant is available in seven ISO grades.
Heavy-duty engine oil reduces exhaust emissions
Chevron says its Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 oil meets the requirement of new heavy-duty engines, protects older engines, and reduces the levels of exhaust emissions in diesel engines. The company says the oil is formulated with ISOSYN Technology, which rivals synthetic lubricants in critical performance tests, and ultra-low sulfur diesel, and was specifically designed to meet the demands of exhaust-gas recirculation engines, while at the same time providing exceptional performance in conventional engines and other engine technologies like Caterpillar ACERT.
Schaeffer Specialized Lubricants
Extreme pressure grease exceeds Cat specs
Schaeffer Specialized Lubricants says its extreme pressure grease, 274M E.P. Synthetic Plus, exceeds MPGM and Caterpillar's 5-percent molybdenum disulfide specs. The product is a multi-purpose, extreme pressure, wide-temperature-range (-20 to 350 degrees F) grease compounded from a blend of hydro-treated polyalphaolefin synthetic base fluids and high-viscosity index paraffin base oils, which are blended with an aluminum complex base thickener and extreme-pressure and rust oxidation additives. It is available in 420-pound drums, 120-pound kegs, 40-pound pails, and cases of 30 tubes.
Hydraulic oil extends equipment life
ExxonMobil says its new Mobil DTE 10 Excel Series hydraulic oils are designed to help customers achieve energy efficiency and productivity, and will also extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs. In laboratory and in-service field demonstrations, the company says the oil demonstrated exceptional life, outlasting competitive fluids by up to three times, while maintaining hydraulic system cleanliness and component protection; and demonstrated the value of its high viscosity index and shear stability by operating in temperatures as low as -30 degrees F.
Premium-tier diesel engine oil
ConocoPhillips Co. says its new Guardol ECT premium-tier API CJ-4 diesel engine oil, formulated using liquid-titanium technology, provides enhanced engine wear protection, reduced bearing corrosion, and has increased oxidation stability. The company says the oil is an enhancement to its API CJ-4 synthetic blend diesel engine oil made from low SAPS (sulfated ash, phosphorous, and sulfur) technology, and is approved under the latest heavy duty engine oil specifications from major engine builders.
Citgo Petroleum Corp.
Synthetic engine oil for high/low temperatures
Citgo says its Citgard SynDurance Synthetic Engine Oil SAE 5W-40 uses premium synthetic base stocks to improve high and low temperature properties, fuel economy, cold temperature performance, and engine drain intervals. When combined with LubeAlert, the company says it will also reduce dependency on engine block heaters, promote longer engine life, and improve equipment productivity and service availability.
