Delo XLE 15w-40 / MB 228.51

[Overfill]

I've been looking around a little and I can't seem to find other HDEO in 15w40 that meets the 228.51 spec.
What other options do you guys know of that aren't too boutique?

There are no other 15w40 approved oils.

Shell Rotella T6 Multi Vehicle 5w30, free pickup at my local Walmart. The grade is irrelevant with the MB approval requirement.

Check your local AZ stores, I scored 5 gallons on XLE 15W40 for $5 each! Hard to beat Delo HDEO.

Yes. If approved, it is hard to be Delo.

Same with T6 Multi-Vehicle.

Delo XLE 15w40 is less than $12/gallon on amazon right now

DELO XLE is arguably the best value in HDEO.
