Another Oil Question

[OLEJOE]

Anyone tried or running Delo 400 XSP 5-40? I ran Delo for years in Class 8’s but before the DPF emergence. Delo/Chevron has supposedly developed better wear preventative additives than Phosphorus and Zinc to reduce Sulphated Ash in the exhaust. Just wondering if anyone is using it and how it’s doing. Thanks

Highly recommend not to using any other weight other than 15w-40. btw delete your truck and you wont have to worry about it really.

Not an option at this time

You can run either 15w-40 or 5w-40 synthetic, the later required when operating in temperatures below 0 degrees F.

I don't see how running Delo at one's next oil change can yield a user's result. It would take years to discover any significant differences. If the oil meets the requirements (API CJ-4), I don't see why you can use it. I might give it a try and my next oil change if it is priced right.

Walmart and Amazon have the XSP 5-40 for $18.76 per gallon. It is supposedly full synthetic and almost $4.00 per gallon cheaper than T6. I’ve run hundreds of gallons of Delo oil in class 8 trucks with good results but I know this ain’t no class 8. As has been mentioned earlier and the answer to every other question I’ve come up with , here and elsewhere, DELETE

I'm running Rotella T6 15w-40. Got it at Wallyworld.com

This is not the answer to everything. I'm always amazed at the number of threads from people with one problem or another that start with "my truck is deleted and tuned". Plus A LOT of people live where that is just not feasible.
