We all suffer from some level of oil OCD...

My local Wal-Mart has started carrying it, but the last I went to the oil isle, the jugs were gone, and only one quart bottle was available. Either it sold very quickly and they hadn't restocked yet, or they pulled it.....my guess is for the former.

Also, I wouldn't hesitate to run it. Thinking about using it for the next oil change on the GMC.

Today I went back for unrelated items with my wife. As always, I went directly to the oil isle and as youve eluded to, of the 6-deep jugs, only two were left. One was bought by me yesterday. It seems to be selling well.

Delo 400 XLE?

Oh man, is it as loaded with boron as the XL?
I'd love to walk into our local walmart and grab some Delo!

Nope, nothing like it. More like an HDEO version of Havoline syn, not much to see in it. I'm sure it's good oil, but it's not loaded with goodies like the 400 LE is.

Why a diesel HDEO? Seems like the NAPA Synthetic you're already using should be fine - even for a Turbo.

Part of it is OCD...

Heck, at these oci, the QSGB is enough. The HDEO is out of my system now because it has no starburst or ILSAC cert for warranty purposes.
