In my huge farm/ranch area farmers can have up to 10 different diesel/gas machines operating, numerous tractors for different applications, combines, farm runabout trucks, personal vehicles, they use HDEO in everything on operation including passenger vehicles right out of 45 gallon drums of HDEO. Most these machines take 20 litre sump fills. They buy thier HDEOs in 45 gallon drums numberous times per year. Farmer "JOE" cannot pay $10.00 per litre/quart for a group 1V POA XD3 HDEO syn oil for example to start some of these diesels up in
-40C. This is why XD3 or DMO group IV oils sell cheap for 1/2 price of PCMOs group 1V in my area in my take on it. Volume.
About 7 years ago here in BITOG when XD3 was the rage on what a great oil at the cost it was someone here in BITOG mentioned that a premium group 1V poa syn HEDO was made by Esso Canada (MOBILE) for .50 per litre cost to Esso. Selling this oil in huge bulk sales at 5.00 per litre is good profit in my books.
