Smell of DELO 400

[Randy]

Did my first change & fill with Delo 400. If you have some lying around, give it a sniff! I swear that this stuff smells like gin. Not sure if it's Tanqueray or Beefeater. I've never smelled oil like this before! I dig it! OK - Time for some fresh air. . .

Ok, besides getting high off your oil , have you noticed any differences since making the switch?

Delo and tonic? Or maybe a delo sling? [ October 19, 2003, 04:09 PM: Message edited by: DavoNF ]

Bought some the other day. Smells great!

For some reason, I've noticed that Valvoline MaxLife and Royal Purple smell nearly identical to one another. The best way I can describe it is kind of an alcohol smell; which is strange since we know motor oil has no alcohol in it.

Maybe it's the additive pack? Rickey.

Add Exxon Superflo to the list of alcohol smell like oils; I just opened one.

I use Delo SAE30 in my Jeep and 15W40 in my Chevy Diesel and have to say that it does smell "good".

Wow! This is nearly a four year old thread.

 

[Johnny]

And it still smells good after all these years.

I might add it's always been one of the top shelf diesel oil out there.

The new CJ-4 Rotella T has a distinctly "synthetic" smell to it. Doesn't smell like oil at all.

Motul motorcycle oil smells sweet like candy. Mmmm.

Which intoxicating beverage does LC20 smell like?? It is familiar, but I just can't place it!

Mobil Clean 5000 smells like a chemical factory

If you've been close enough to Royal Purple to "smell it" then you obviously dont need a picture to see "purple oil"

I only popped the cap at Pep Boys to take a wiff. I'd still like to see it in a jar though. I suppose some day I should just break down and buy a bottle.
