What happened to Delo XSP? (CK-4/SN synthetic)

[1JZ_E46]

Chevron announced their new line of full synthetic CK-4/SN oils, Delo XSP 5W-30 and 5W-40, over a year ago. What happened? Decided to not do a full syn and only go with semi and mineral? They looked impressive.

Press release

I just saw Delo 400 XSP in the 5w40 flavor at my local Walmart. Checked the packaging and did see the API SN rating on the back. $19.97/ gal. if I recall.

Really? It’s no where to be found in my area. Sure it was XSP and not XLE synblend? It is also SN/CK-4.

Definitely XSP - been watching for that myself as a potential OPE oil.

Very nice. Must just be taking longer to roll out than expected.

Order on-line and have it delivered to your nearest store

Here you go. Spotted in the wild again this morning at Wally World. $19.97 per gallon.

Here's the 5W-40 on Walmart's website. Curious how much longer 5W-30 will take to show up on the shelves.

The Delo 5w30 synthetic is available on Amazon
