Is that a CI-4 or CI-4+ lube or something like that? There seem to be a lot of them available down under. Up here, we have our share, too, but the majors abandoned them long ago, leaving them to the smaller blenders. I don't think Chevron, Shell, or Mobil offer anything that isn't CJ-4.

That explains the confusion exhibited by us in North America. Such a product is difficult to find up here. To add to the confusion, Imperial Oil just recently got rid of their listings of the older Esso lubes, even though they weren't available for ages.

I believe we can get Delo 400 Multigrade from the distributor.
Mobil offers Delvac MX which is CI4+. North American marine distributors offer Delvac 1 SHC which is designed for European engines (ACEA E4, MB 228.5) but is sort of CH4 by virtue of meeting Mack EO-M.
