Oil Trivia

[Blue99]

Here's a question for the "Bitog Oil Trivia Board Game":

What is the origin of the term "Delo" used in the Chevron brand of Delo HDEO lubricants?

(Note - This may be a duck soup question for the diesel crowd, but I'm a gas guy & ran across it for the 1st time this morning!)

Keep going, my info shows the Pennzoil brand was registered in 1916, so Pennz was about 30 years late to the game!
