Genesis,
Does Delo 400 40 weight meet the ash and zinc requirements of DDC? I believe it shows CF, but I don't know about the -2 designation.

On my last oil change my mechanic told me I should be using DELO 100 instead of 400 because 100 is made for 2 cycle.

Delo 400 USED TO be ok, no longer is
It was reformulated a couple of years ago and no longer carries a Cx-2 rating.
The OLD Delo 400 is ok, the new is NOT. Use Delo 100.

Detroit Diesel also has a specially formulated "Detroit Diesel" branded 2-cycle diesel engine oil in straight 40 wt. May actually be Delo 100 in a different kimono, but it's what I use in my 8V71TI's.

yes, the DD branded oil is what I use. I get it from a local DD dealer here in miami for jsut under $ 40 / 5 gal pail. It's not a marine place, they seem to cater to trucks...

DD's "branded" oil....
... is Mobil/Texaco XD-40. Same stuff in a different bottle. We have the XD-40 available here from the fisherman's coop in bulk - bring your own pails - saves 'ya some moolah.

I've been almost exclusively been using Shell Rotella 40w for over 6 years in my 8V71n's with about 3300 hours on them. I saw a pair of 671TI's with about 1600 hours taken apart a few years ago that looked almost new. Except for normal wear parts, Atlantic Detroit said they were exceptionally clean.
You just have to be sure you're using the right Rotella for 2 strokes.8o

I also am using Shell Rotella 40W in my 453N. I hope this is OK? I just heard this was a high grade oil and was able to purchase it from one of our customers. Any comments are welcome, pro or con.
Thanks,

How about Texaco URSA HD40? That's what I was told and I've been using but I never checked it out.
