Hey, I know this is similar to last thread but I guess I narrowed it down to Mobil Delvac.
For the older engine 1988-89 ISUZU 4bd1 (going to turbo it in future) - I was looking at Mobil Delvac range just because I can get it pretty cheap compare to other oils and I have read a lot of good reports regarding delvac.
The 3 choices I can get are:
Mobil 1 Delvac ESP - 5w 40
Mobil Delvac MX ESP - 15w 40
Mobil Delvac MX - 15w 40
The M1 Delvac ESP says it is the 'supreme' version (I guess this is their latest and greatest one)...
Cost wise, the M1 delvac ESP is roughly $290 for a 20L drum.
The Delvac MX ESP is only $125
The Delvac MX is only $100
So looking at price, I can nearly get 60L of the MX and MX ESP for the price of 1x 20L M1 Delvac.
My question is, how different are these compare to each other?
Is the Delvac 1 5w 40 going to produce double the km at least before having to change oil, or is it going to be similar to the MX?
All the ESP versions say they are designed for engines with EGR, CAT, DPF etc but good for older engines as well.
The isuzu does not have any CAT, DPF etc so wondered which one of these oils will still produce the best protection?
5w 40 I like the weight of, but may not be relevant...
Then you got the MX and MX ESP version. The MX ESP is only $25 more than the MX version, so if it is a much better/higher tech oil, well for extra $25 its not even worth considering the standard MX.
So thats what I am trying to figure out, which one is the best, in what way is it going to be better (please explain) and then I can decide if the extra $ is worth it or not to me.
