ChevronTexaco Announces Relaunch of Lubrication Magazine; Publication Focused on Lubricant Technology to Serve as Valuable Industry Resource

SAN RAMON, Calif.--March 30, 2005--ChevronTexaco Products Company, a leading provider of engine oils, lubricants, coolants and related solutions, today announced that it has reintroduced Lubrication magazine, a longtime source of technical information about lubricants, coolants and lubrication solutions. The magazine, which was sponsored by Texaco for almost a century, resumed publication in March 2005.

Each issue of Lubrication will provide an in-depth overview and analysis of various topics related to lubrication technology and its many applications. The magazine will be available in electronic format only and can be downloaded at ChevronTexaco's Lubricants University web site: www.lubricantsuniversity.com.

"The push to bring back a respected industry resource like Lubrication demonstrates ChevronTexaco Product Company's commitment to knowledge and expertise," said Craig Duncan, vice president, ChevronTexaco Global Lubricants, North America. "The magazine is an invaluable source of information for all of those with an interest in lubricant engineering."

From 1911 until 1996, nearly 1,000 issues of the Texaco-sponsored Lubrication were produced. With its in-depth coverage and analysis of relevant issues in the lubricant field, Lubrication was viewed as an important source of knowledge for individuals working in or studying the lubrication industry. Its subscribers included lubrication experts, maintenance managers, marketers, academics, original equipment operators, commercial & industrial accounts, government personnel and end-users.

The relaunched Lubrication, which features an article on the "Evolution of Base Oil Technology" in its first issue, will be produced on a quarterly basis. When a new issue is launched, an executive summary of the featured article will appear on LubricantsUniversity.com. Visitors interested in reading the entire article may download the current issue, with the option of downloading a text-only or enhanced version of the article upon completing an online registration form.

ChevronTexaco maintains an extensive library of Texaco-branded archives of Lubrication. The back issues are currently stored on disk and may be accessed by subscribers or by visitors to the site for a nominal fee, which will be waived during the introductory period. Subscribers will soon be offered additional benefits such as discounted online courses offered through Lubricants University and supplements to the magazine.
