Re: Delo 400 40w sale
If you have Detroits you should use Delo 100, not 400. John

Re: Delo 400 40w sale
Never use 400 in your Detroits. Only 100. Hopefully we caught you before you put it in.

Re: Delo 400 40w sale
But if you have ZF gears that take 40 Wt it’ll be fine. Just need a 4th pale to fill them both up.

Re: Delo 400 40w sale
I use 100 in my Detroits but it is a SERIOUS struggle to find it around me, other than West Marine @ $130/5g

Re: Delo 400 40w sale
A post from Bobk way back when
Low ash (<1.0%) is preferred for the two stroke engines. Detroit has a PDF on this but I could not find it. Remember, two strokes need straight 40 oil.
This information is a bit old, but may be good. Shell Rotella 40 is at the upper limit of the ash spec. I've used it, but switched to NAPA 75118 (Valvoline) as it is well below the spec and I can easily get it anywhere.
ASH, %
Exxon XD3____________.80%
Mobil Delvac 1240______.80% (if you can still find it)
Castrol Assuron________.80%
Valvoline Fleet Plus_____.80%
Delo 100______________.85%
Texaco Ursa___________.85%
Shell Rotella__________1.00%
Valvoline Fleet Guard Plus SAE 40 also meets the 0.8% specScott
