New Syn Delo Available

[PiperOne]

Available now at Walmart, there is a new full syn Delo XSP 15W40 available in gallons and 2.5 gallon jugs. I thought it was a typo and it was actually 5W40 but my Chevron rep confirms it is a new product and is 15W40 full syn. I checked online at a few Walmarts in MI and it pretty widely available. It isn't on Chevrons website yet so I have no PDS for it.

I found a press release about it

Chevron Introduces Full Synthetic Delo 400 XSP SAE 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil

Chevron introduces high-performance heavy duty diesel engine oil formulated to extend engine and oil life when operating in extreme conditions

www.businesswire.com

I found the Chevron product page and datasheet
Web Page: https://www.chevronlubricants.com/e...ll-synthetic-heavy-duty-diesel-motor-oil.html
PDS: https://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/PDSDetailPage.aspx?docDataId=663457&docFormat=PDF
Interesting they recommend it for usage in applications calling for Ford WSS-M2C171-F1, which Delo had not recommended for in the past, and Ford requires a minimum of 1000ppm of phos to be approved, and this is mixed fleet oil so it can't be approved.

 

[blufeb95]

The datasheet claims it contains, ~1100ppm of phos, but also claims the dual rating, it also gives a CCS viscosity at -30C which is not proper for a 15W lubricant, this datasheet seems a little screwy, and Chevron where among the first companies to embrace the limits for dual rated oils so now I'm even more confused.

 

[PiperOne]

Just read the PDS (thanks for posting), ya, seems odd.

im liking those zinc/phos lvls wouldnt mind running this in my 12 valve, using the delvac extreme 15w-40 synthetic now which is probably its direct competitor along with t6 15w-40, whats the pricing looking like? I would assume it will be around the 20-22$ per gallon like the delvac xtreme

Robot or human?

That cold pour point is surprisingly low, almost as low as T6.
Z&Ph look decent to now compared to the 800max stuff the were pushing.

Yet hasn’t made it to my local Wally World shelf yet, matter of fact not much has...pretty bare on Thursday still.

That's only the 2nd 15W40 full synthetic I've seen, the other being Royal Purple (I still have a couple gallons of the old CI-4 formula laying around).

Rotella T6 and Delvac Extreme exist.

 

[naterbomb]

It's on the WSS-M2C171-F1 approved list.

Rotella T6 and Delvac Extreme exist.

Yeah but good luck finding T6 for a halfway decent price nowadays.

Looks like a good OPE option.

Delvac Extreme is a blend, I thought T6 was a 10W40? Heard about T6, don't remember that one in a 15W40. Delo HDEOs have always done well for me, I'm sure it would work well.

 

[blufeb95]

Delvac Exteme is full synthetic and has been for a couple years now, there's almost no 10W40 HDEOs available in the United States, T6 is available in 15W40 and 5W40, they used to have a 0W40 but I think they've discontinued it from the US market due to poor sales.

 

[blufeb95]

Seen it in my Walmart today, priced in line with delvac Extreme, No T6 in stock but it's like $25/gal now. If Amazon starts carrying it then you can get $21 back on 3 gallons through the rebate but Amazon seems to overall be in short supply of any Delo product.

Seems like everyone but Valvoline has come out with a Synthetic 15-40

Yes, I just bought some Extreme to change the oil in an older Ford tractor because I didn't have enough of the T5 on hand and really hard to find locally, was going to go with the Delvac 1300 syn-blend but the Walmart I was at only had 1 gallon jugs. I usually get the Delo XLE which is a very good oil especially for the money. The Delo is usually my go-to oil for diesels and small engines.

The Extreme was only a bit more expensive than the XLE but the XSP was even higher so I went with the Mobil.

Is it dual rated? If so I might have to dump it in my Hyundai.
