Thank you. It appears there isn't any 5W-40 or 0W-40 that's CK-4 and SP dual-rated. Is that accurate?
Fixed. Thank you!
You're welcome. Yes, I've not seen SP on 5w or 0w-40's for any common CK-4 oils.
hmmm... its very possible I'm looking at an old website/document. Mobils website is like a labyrinth. This page here does say SN as a "meet or exceed" but its very possible its incorrect.

EDIT: even the website "title" is weird and out of date so very possible
OP looking for CK-4/SP & that product isn't CK-4.
The Delvac 1 Truck & SUV 5w-40 is rated below:
API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4Plus, CI-4 API SN, CaterpillarECF-2, ECF-3
I have never heard of Delvac 1 Truck & SUV... do you have any more info on it or any links to any PDS? Thank you!
Understood. Thanks
Their website guy is work from home. Nothings changed since February 2020.
Thanks, this looks like it might be the winner. I do wonder why there aren't any 5W-40 CK-4/SP oils.
Delvac 1 ESP 5w40 not rated SP
Certifications and Performance claims would suffer with the lower Phosphorus amount SP requires (0.08% mass max). It would lose Ford F1 Specification as just one example. There are a few 15w40 and 10w30's as show in the database already CK/SP & it must not be a big seller to offer CK-4/SP. However, from what I've seen these oils tend to be just a general multi-fleet HDEO/Gasoline oil & nothing really special. The lower Phos. could help if running it in a gasoline application but there are already 5w-40's for gasoline engines anyways so CK-4 wouldn't be a requirement for that.
