Delo 400

[Jamn]

I am a new diesel owner (Duramax) and I just recently changed the oil for the first time. I used Chevron Delo 400 (15w 40). This is available at Costco at a good price. I noticed that the box says ISO/SYN on the side. Is this a synthetic blend?

No, it is chevron's name for the GII base oil it uses. It's pretty good stuff I've been told.

Thanx....Its hard to pass up the price.

Yea, it's Chevron's isodewaxing process which yields a very pure base dino oil. They are great for offering top quality oil for cheap prices. The delo 400 is a favorite among many truckers and mechanics I have known.

Delo 400 is a well proven motor oil ,but all ch4 and ci4 oils are incredable, Costcos price makes Delo the winner.

I use it in gasoline, diesel, and compressed gas engines.

Curious about the good price. Our local Wal-Mart gets $6.17 a gallon or $1.72 a qt. What is Costco's price.

 

[Jamn]

I paid $34.41 for a case (6 one gallon jugs). Thats $1.42 a qt.

In Redding california Costco price in the 6 gallon case is 36.48 or breaks down to 1.52 per quart out the door .

Is the Delo 400 straight 30 weight an ISO/SYN - Group II oil? Please disregard ... just found Chevron's product data sheet. (No, it's not.)

They use the ISOSYN on the Group II+ stock oils. The straight Delo 400 line is just group II.
