Chevron seems to be changing up/simplifying its Delo products a bit:

Delo Heavy Duty Engine Oils, Coolants, Lubes & Greases | Chevron Lubricants (US)

They are discontinuing:

• 400 SDE 10W-30
• 400 SDE 15W-40

They will be replaced by Delo 400 XLE SB SAE 15W-40 which is a synthetic blend and CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS,CI-4, CH-4, SN rated:

Thanks for posting this. Here's some more pdf's I posted. Last year I did do a strike through on the 15w-40 SDE since it's going away.

That PDF still has the regular XLE a few pages back. And the pour point of the regular XLE is far superior to the SB, if it’s correct… and it has been listed about there for a long while now…

Here's the Discontinued oil.

They received more "Approvals" & IMO a beefier additive pack like Phosphorus to meet Ford Spec on this newest product. The Cold Crank test seems to, slightly, favor the old 15w-40 (Synblend) product mentioned below. Apparently it was already a synthetic blend before. You can see (Synblend) in the title before naming it SB.

Then there's this product you're referring to 15w-40 SDE (Synblend) that has that low -54F pour point. Product number 257004. This must of been the product you're talking about & it appears it was launched around the time of CK-4.

No, the standard old blue bottle sde has had a fantastic pour point, fwiw, if it’s real, for a long while.

https://cglapps.chevron.com/sdspds/PDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=481951&docFormat=PDF

XLE also has a great pour point, and I didn’t pick up on thst being the second product in the pds above.

But look at the blue bottle delo I linked to…

Understood, & it did have a lower pour point. Though the Cold Crank Test, very slightly, shows the new SB product performs better. This brand would do better w/me if they'd offer rebates via Wal-Mart but that's a different subject.
