The Limited Fuel Proof Guarantee Eligibility Requirements and Procedure
Eligibility
The Limited Fuel Proof Guarantee program is available to North American trucking
operations with a fleet size of 200 or more Class 8 trucks. In order to qualify
for the limited Fuel Proof Guarantee, the fleet must complete the customer demonstration
protocol outlined below. Participation in the customer demonstration requires a
minimum of 30 trucks, model year 2002 or newer, based out of a single location.
Drivers, routes, loads and other operating factors must be consistent throughout
the 120-day customer demonstration period to validate fuel economy results.
The Limited Fuel Proof Guarantee
If, after the successful completion of all requirements outlined in the 120-day
customer demonstration, the Valvoline and tiwi products do not result in a measurable
gain in average fuel economy across the demo vehicles as a group, Valvoline and
tiwi will remove their equipment from the vehicles and reimburse the customer for
any and all incremental costs incurred specific to this test.
Incremental costs include the leasing/purchasing cost of the tiwi unit and any monthly
subscription costs, the differential between oil changes performed with regular
mineral-based and Premium Blue Extreme 5W-40 engine oil, and any cost difference
between the gear oil used by the fleet and Syn Gard FE 75W-90.
This applies to the 30-vehicle customer demonstration fleet only, and will be based
on documented fuel charges. Incremental costs do not include normal labor costs
such as routine oil changes, but will include any extra oil/filter changes over
and above standard fleet maintenance practices.
