You have heard from me that this is one of the cheapest and longest drain engine oils around. It is a fleet oil rated at 15W40 but hard to find here. Good news is that it is very easily available in Malaysia. Their Caltex stations usually stock it. Better than Delvac MX. Sells for RM55-60 for 5L.

Furthermore, I have confirmed reports that Shell Rimula 15W40 is actually Rotella in the US. Another excellent long drain dino oil, but Delo 400 is much more highly refined than Rimula. These oils only start to turn black when close to 10k. Makes your engine cleaner than your underwear.

Jiayong, you can consider these once your current thick oil gives up its life at 5k. wink.gif

OK more Delo 400 research. I have crossed the Causeway and found Delo 400 easily available in the Caltex stations in JB. Retailing at MYR60 for 5L. Those with older cars can go get this. The base stock is from the Caltex refineries in SG. Very good stuff.

No but as a 40wt, viscosity damn thick already. Good for old cars. Can clean the engine very well as well.

 

pardon my ignorance..is it mineral, semi or fully synthetic?

Group II+ mineral oil but a damn good one for its price. Not recommended if you have blow-by. If it leaks into your exhaust, it will ruin your cat if you car comes with one. If you don't care about the cat, go use it!

Hi Genie,

 

I like to share with you and fellow MCF'er some info about Delo 400......gossip.gif

 

Recently I've contacted Caltex, asking them the availability of Delo 400 15W40 and Delo 400 10W30 locally. Their reply was that only 15W40 can get in Singapore. Its available from a company in Tuas area.sly.gif

 

After I've contacted the company in Tuas area selling Delo 400 15W40, they confirmed that they do sell it. But the smallest package comes in 18 litres for $52.sweatdrop.gif Well, that quantity is too much for my personal consumption, but seems like its quite cheap; about $2.89 per quarts!tongue.gif

 

So if anyone interested to get this oil, you should be able to locate that company by doing a search on the Green Book. nod.gif
