Here is a new oil on the block that I have been running with: "Chevron Delo 400 LE Synthetic 5w-40, found it at the Super WalMart for under $20.00. https://cglapps.chevron.com/msdspds/PDS ... Format=PDF I have been searching for the meaning of the "LE" in the name and what I come up with is a 5w-40 LE made by Lubrication Engineers. I don't know if they are related. Here: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/10/prweb10009149.htm Approx. 800 miles on this oil with a Bosch filter and so far so good. |

I sell parts for a living and over 90% of the diesel oil I sell is Delo. Everyone swears by it. I'm using the synthetic Delo as well and I have had no problems. |

Looks good what do you make of Zinc content 0.127% would that make more than 1200 Ppm or so. I did use Delo in my big rig with good results now this particular formutaion boast of good soot handling with EGR engines & CI 4 rating , so my only concern is on zinc content. I am mighty impressed by Bosch DP 3500 filter already have it sitting in garage for next oil change. Thanks. |

I have been wondering about this oil. Costco always has for a good price. |

I thought the Delo LE line was for "low emissions" applications, i.e. newer diesels... |

Chevron Delo® 400 LE SYNTHETIC SAE 5W-40 http://www.deloperformance.com/docs/Del ... 041310.pdf Purchased from the Super WalMart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Chevron-Delo- ... g/20896087 Along with a Bosch 3500 Distance plus Oil filter also purchased from WalMart. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bosch-Distanc ... s/17243925 Along with the Rislone ZDDP additive, purchased from Advanced Auto http://barsproducts.com/catalog/view/22 ... tment-4401 My CRD has never driven smoother or sounded quieter. And another observation is that I can now hear the distinct sound of the turbo spool at the very slight touch of the pedal, where as before I hardly ever. I have been using this formulation for the past 1600 miles and I am very impressed. Report back with your findings if you decide to try it. |

I'm on my third oil change after using this. Oil is cleaner but I also have the Eco tune from gd. As posted above the little tractor does run smoother and the turbo is definitely more noticeable but not obnoxious. I change my oil every four thousand miles and I drive 90% freeway. |

Anyone have a part number for the Bosch oil filter? I'm going to use the same oil and filter combination, hoping to get this done this week. Cheers and thanks in advance! |

have yet to find the Delo at any Walmarts in the Midwest. That is why I still use the Shell Rotella. |

Got lucky and found it at my local Walmart, 20 bucks a gallon, which I believe is cheaper than Costco... BTW you can get this oil on Amazon.com, its spendy but at least ships free, 33 bucks a gallon, or you can get a case of 4 gallons for 110.00 and free shipping. . |

You must live out east. They are the only Walmart's that carry the Delo synthetic. Must be a test region. |

My local Wal Mart just started stocking it. I changed over this weekend w/Bosch 3500 EP. Seems like they just started stocking the Bosch 3500 EP also. Maybe a slow distribution. You should be able to look it up on walmart.com and search stores for availability. |

I got mine at Malwart Marysville WA, it was a free ship to store deal and I could not get them to ship to Bellingham as it seemed like deal was for Metro Seattle only. |

Changed the oil and Filter (Bosch DP 3500) and it runs smoother than Shell rotella T6 at 40 MPH and over i can not hear the tractor rattle and cold start has improved too. So far happy to switch over to this oil and filter deal. |
