Delo 400

i run the Delo 400 in everything around here, from the freightliner to my 4 stroke quad, to my 1976 Dodge M882 5/4 dodge with a gas engine.

but i was wondering if at -20 f i should switch to a 5w40

 

[wsm41bn]

I should add its a 15w40

 

[rokky]

Yes. 5w40 at minus temps is wise.

I'm sure many use 5w40 year round. It is a little pricey though.

Good stuff. I'm using it with an Auto-Rx treatment. Good price at Costco by the case. The farmers around here use it in everything and they expect stuff to last forever.

yea my truck is 060 over, and its what i have always used it seems good

Aye, I to run delo 400 in my Jeep. Our others equipment, 2000 sebring convert., 2003 trailblazer, lawnmower, power washer, all run Rotella T 5w-40 year round.

For winter though I switch over to Rotella T 5w-40 in the Jeep, I can get the rotella and delo at Wally-world so it works out great. But I know the Jeep's older 4.0 really appreciates the 5w oil in the winter as is evident by the lack of startup noise when cold.

Switching between the syn and non-syn doesn't seem to have any affect at all to any of the vehicles.

My reason is that the Jeep is used mainly for trail riding in the summer in 4lo. The highest rpm's it sees there are in the range of 1500. So I'm worried about the wide range 5w-40 being more prone to shearing than the 15w40 due to the heat, and low rpm/high torque conditions. There i go rambling off again...

-20 is some serious cold! I think 5w would be a much better choice!
