Many have posted, however, that Delo 100 is a good oil.
Delo 100 is the prefered oil for the Detroits from everyone I've spoken to. In my area it's hard to get, so I order Shell Rotella through Canadian Tire. If I find a buy on Delo I'll buy some as well. Until I get some time and oil samples on my 4-53T, I'm only going from what people have told me.
