Delfin oil, beginning to show up in my area.

A little background.

Old Chevron Plant

Available at a local small box retailer for < $2 USD / qt. I have a bottle of 5W-30 conventional I might send in for a VOA; PDS lists Zn,Ca and P PPM so I'm not sure what value a VOA might be.

Wondering if anyone else has run into this.

Might be a good bargain basement oil for burners, leakers.

Very, very interesting!

Looks like a pretty good line-up of oils...I wouldn't say it's only good for leakers or burners - good for any vehicle!

Here is some additional info on the company.

So the transfer to Delfin happened back in '08, so these oils ought to be on shelves now...are they being sold under the Delfin label? Can you take a picture of a bottle?

And most importanly, do they have any delfin magic in them?

Delfin was the name of a contraceptive sponge

The president of Delfin was arrested over the weekend by federal authorities for illegally selling synthetic oil to Iran.

Some people just see money and throw out all common sense.

Kind of surprised that Iran doesn't have its own facilities to refine the oil ...

They may but maybe some radical made that illegal?

 

[dave1251]

It seems despite Iran's oil production it does not have enough refineries and has to IMPORT refined oil products. Sound familiar?
