Diesel Engine Oil

[3930dave]

I plan to use the Castrol Edge in my 1025 because it's the only xw30 oil that I can get that's diesel rated. Every other diesel rated oils available around here (and even in Ohio where I checked some) are xxw40 oils. My temperature chart shows I don't need a 30w, and I want to save fuel by using xw30. Going to 0w20 in my Tacoma has really improved the fuel mileage on it.

Amsoil (I don't sell the stuff) has a CJ-4 10W30, and a pre-emission 10w30 and 5w30. I don't remember the spec you need for that engine.

I've used Delvac1 (more or less TDT) - I've liked it and all the Mobil products I've used in the past. If my cash flow was stronger at the moment, I'd probably buy more than I do - up Nord here, real sales on Mobil seem rare, at least in the stores I frequent.

Getting ready for 50 hour initial oil change (flush the break-in machining), couldn't find 10W-30 CG+ mineral oil so did what everybody else does - went with 15W-40 until winter, then change to synthetic. Ended up with Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40.......overkill for a mechanically-injected, nonturbocharged, IDI diesel engine, but what the hey. And only needed 3 quarts, not a 5 gallon pail.

Winter changeover will be Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40 or Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel 5W-40, for low temperature pumpability.

Where are you buying Delvac??

Where are you buying Delvac??

I was after Delvac1 at the time......

An Industrial Distributor in Etobicoke. Been a while, so I can't remember the name..... I think I tracked them down through the Mobil site back then. Went looking now... pretty sure it was Noco. Bought a case of 4L jugs (x4) - can't remember if that was the minimum purchase, or I just wanted that much.

I was going to say that this is a Canadian thing.... but this search tool seems to work for USA too:

Find an Imperial Oil Distributor | Mobil

If you are seeking a specialty Mobil lube not common at your local retailer, one of the Disti's may help.

Good plan - 5W40 is nice for winter, and minimizes aux heating requirements.
