Instead of me picking up my normal Delo 400 LE 15W-40 that I get for $67 a pail. I would like to try Delvac I can get for $64 at CT. According to the PQIA, Delvac is a little thinner but the NOACK is a bit lower. With a smaller amount of friction modifiers than Delo. But it has an impressive TBN of 11. Am I overthinking this or am I just BITOG Crazy? Also heard that Delvac is better at retaining viscosity.
To me, this is what I see... Delvac vs Delo
Delavac - Lower Noack
Delvac - Higher TBN
Delvac - More Magnesium, (is this better?) I know magnesium costs more.
Delvac - Less Moly & Boron, Delo has 92/557 while Delvac has only 50/73
Delo/Delvac Both CJ-4 / ACEA E9. I need a E9 rated oil.
