I think it was esso xd3? 0w40 ci4 rating. Now I just stick to m1 0w40 fs in everything as I'm no longer worried about the 47 year old stock camshaft in my Oldsmobile v8.
First HDEO oil you used?
- Thread starter 53' Stude
- Start date
1980's Canada, used Esso XD-3 15W40 or XD-3 Extra 0W40. Great oil made in Canada that ended up being discontinued and replaced with Mobil stuff from the US in the late 90's early 2000's.
Was around 2007 when I used that 0w40 xd3 in my 84 cutlass. That was the year it got put back together. I put around 105k miles on it since then with the same junkyard 350 rocket.
First HDEO i used was oil i got from my workplace, Q8 T760 10W-30.

Ran Mobil1 15w-50 in many VWs in the 90s. Then was introduced to BITOG and ran BROtella T6 5w-40 for years.
Same. First HDEO I tried was T6 in a Cherokee 4.0L I owned. Also seemed to make it noisier.
I think it was back in 2013 or 2012? Right when Rotella got super popular at first.
First and only one i've used is Shell Rimula R4X 15w40
Travaller 15W40 from TSC.
We used to use Citgo Citgard 600 back in the 90s in our fleet. Before that was Amaco ultimate 15w40 before their lubes were purchased by Chevron. (We were an Amaco distributor since 1919.)
We switched to Kendall Super D X-A products in the mid 2000’s. Still use them today primarily. One of my divisional fleets switched to Citgo Citgard 700. Judging by our analytics, Kendall Super D X-A and C700 are fantastic oils.

Supertech 15w40
I am going to have to think about this since it was a Long Time ago…
D- as in, Don’t you already know my answer?
E- as in, Everybody here must convert to 15w-40
L- as in, Let me pour this oil into another brand’s jug to trick others
O- as in, My expression when I open the throttle :O
