I work at a Canadian Tire store in Canada. About a month ago, they sold off the last of the Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 0W-40 that was CJ-4 rated, and got in new Delvac 1 ESP 0W-40 that says it is CK-4 rated. It now sits right beside the new CK-4 Delvac 1 ESP 5W-40.
Problem, is, I can't find info or any kind of product sheet for this new oil, so it doesn't seem to to 'exist' to either XOM, or Imperial oil. Go to the Canadian site, and there are the specs for the oil CJ-4 D1 ESP 0W-40, but not the new CK-4 stuff. Go to the US site, and there is no mention of it at all, just the 5W-40.
Reason I think this is 'interesting' and worth chasing down is that the 'old' CJ-4 0W-40 D1 only had a TBN of 7.7 - it was quite a different animal than the 5W-40, which has a TBN of 12. It was made similar to D1 Elite 222; which was a 0W-30 product with the same 7.7 TBN. They were the re-naming of XD-3. I'm curious if the new CK-4 D1 0W-40 is now a strong 12 TBN oil like the 5W-40 version.
Usually companies have TDS and MSDS sheets up pretty quick for products...but this one isn't even mentioned!
