Some new old motor oil

[53' Stude]

While I was at late father’s estate labeling things for the estate sale i found tons of this rotella and Delvac. Know the rotella is 08’ or older. No clue on the Delvac. Hoping 4WD and others will know. Yes, I’m going to use both of these oils in Dakota. Will do VOA on the Delvac and the Conoco oil.

Never seen a Mobil bottle look like that. That is quite strange but neat.

Also seen many Delvac jugs that looked like that. I used to buy them back in the late 1980's.

Im suprised API CE delvac 1300 mentions low emissions. Must be an early 90s jug.

That’s my bet too. Couldn’t see date format on jug.

The delvac 1 i got is like 2003ish. The oldest i found was atleast 1999 as the back of the jugs say mobil oil and not exxonmobil. I would have bought some but the gas station wants 60 bucks a gallon

Your silver jug is definitely 80’s-90’s era

Its API CI-4/SJ and it says exxonmobil so its definately 2000-2003

Date codes on all rotella are 2010, 2011 and 2013

Looks like you're set for a while on break-in and flush oil.

Yeah right. This ain’t no break in or flush oil I’ll run this in truck for longer than most folks would dare. HDEO oils I prefer anyways. And I won’t waste oil.
