All Delo oils seem to report super low Pour points.
Bizarre, because the CCS and MRV figures aren't spectacular. I was joking about the PPD's, but perhaps Chevron really does have some good ones.
Yeah, that’s what made me wonder about it. Other parameters seem pretty normal.
Yes, their catalytic dewaxing aka "isodewaxing" process is very advanced and removes most of the stuff that starts solidifying when it gets very cold. ISOSYN is the marketing term they use but it's not just rainbows and unicorns. The process can create base oils with a natural VI of 140 using petroleum or even 100% wax.
It's great (especially the XLE) if you want to use a 15w40 at temperatures of -10°F - 32°F, and the only 15w40 I would even consider using at those temps.
I wouldn’t run a 15w-40 knowingly and intentionally below 3-5F, if not higher… the daimler and Cummins viscosity charts validate that.
Somewhat unrelated but Irving oil does the same thing with their diesel fuel in the winter. Low cloud points with no additives
he posts vids of tons of other things slamming amsoil and there are different testing procedures chevron and shell use so whos to say they can be trusted in the numbers they report. Here we get to see a test procedure for both while each uses a different one. idk i can see one and not the other.
While I agree, they both seemed to be frozen in the same block of ice, so they should have warmed up similarly. I’m surprised the Delo didn’t pour better.
