I've always been a fan of the Chevron/Havoline family, using both Chevron Supreme and Havoline conventional quite often in the past. I was curious to know if anyone had a clue as to why the Chevron Delo 400 LE Synthetics and Chevron Full Synthetics, specifically their 0w30 and 5w40, and also the Delo 400 conventional 10w30 are so difficult to find at retail outlets? Has anyone ever seen them on the shelf anywhere, or do they have to be specially ordered through a distributor? If you have seen them at a retail store, then which ones? Also, what about the Havoline Synthetic Blend and Havoline Full Synthetics? I've never seen those in person either.
The Product Data Sheets show all of these to be extremely good looking competitive oils. I did notice that their Delo 0w30 is only SJ rated, but their Delo 5w40 and Delo conventional 10w30 are both SM. Also, it is clear from the numbers that the Chevron Supreme Synthetics and Havoline Synthetics are the exact same oils but it's interesting to see they only offer the 0w20 under the Havoline name.
I'm puzzled as to why I can't buy these easily? Why wouldn't Chevron want to make them as accessible as their 15w40 that I see everywhere?
