Mmmm... calcium! Good for your bones.

Thanks for the VOA. How much does this stuff sell for?

 

[userfriendly]

Can buy it in consumer packaging? If not I would guess
$1,500.00 for a drum.
Also see 1630, 1640 and MX 15W40.

This batch was expensive - $190/20L jug (about $36/US gal). I think in Europe you can get it in 5L jugs but here only 20L.
Good for up to 40000 mi OCI in my application, though.
No charge for shipping.

$9.50/L isn't bad for what you getting.
That includes free shipping to Alaska.

I don't think it's available in Canada any longer. It hasn't been on the Imperial Oil sell sheets for years.

I'll ask here where I have a card lock, and my last pail of 1330.

I stopped by Imperial Oil yesterday, and they share offices with another company. The other company had a list of Co-op cardlock locations posted on the window for the drivers. That must stick in the craw of the Imperial Oil guys.

It is listed as a marine lubricant, if you tell the wholesaler to get it from a marine distributor they should be able to get it. At least in my case they waived shipping cost.
The oil analysis place (Detroit Diesel) tells me they use the D4739 protocol even on used oil, so 15.2 is up there.

I would imagine a distributor on the BC coast or in the Maritimes would have an idea, and probably some access to the product.

 

[m37charlie]

Or on the Great Lakes.
BTW I meant that DD uses D4739 on NEW oil.

Would the high Ca be for gear reduction sets and shared final drive applications?
This oil might work well as a motorcycle engine oil, or in applications where an engine oil is specified for a transmission.

The TBN at 15.2 is redundant for ULSD, but is there any harm in using that oil?

 

[m37charlie]

Ca represents detergents, usually calcium sulfonate and phenate. For deposit detergency and acid neutralization. Usually these oils aren't good for spark ignition engines due to high ash fouling spark plugs.
MB approves 228.5 oils for up to 1200 hrs in 900 series engines, pre-DPF/SCR.

Back in the day when engine oils had hair on their chests, we could get Delvac 15W50 with close to the same additive level as your 5W40 SHC has.

Although I agree with Charlie I have used similar oil in my petrol /gasoline car for the last 100k KM without issues.

Are you referring to Delvac 1 5W50 (never have seen it) or Delvac 15W50 (never have seen it)?

It may have also been called 15w50 M1 EP depending on the country.
