Delo 400 comes highly recomnded by many diesel kakis. I personally have
been using it for the past couple of years. I have no problem with it but
I don't mine trying a new product. I change mine every 5 to 7k.

What would you recomend your equivalent and at what price. I am a DIY
enthusiast and when I am not lazy I sometimes do the oil change myself
and i usually buy in 18l pails. thanks again adnoc.

regards

list price is always higher than selling price, especially in accesories
shops.

Liew, still driving your ole XTD i see. Ya if want cheaper, can buy in
18lt drum like xbfy and DIY. Alternatively, I think in our weather, can
use the Delo 350, I think, monograde or now changed name to Delo Silver.
Any detriment to using monograde here?

ya, life is tough, although itchy to change car, but with limited budget
like me, there is no other choice than xantia. others move you like
citreon as well, but with triple or more money. glad to know that u are
still using your xantia diesel.

buying 18lt? where to keep the whole drum? unless my neighbour also using
diesel, than another story.

will check out the price of Delo Silver u recommend.

wen,

dont buy in drums....in pails only 18l.its as big as the normail pail you
use to wash your car. In fact they are better than the normal pails.If
you do the cost analysis the oil bought in pails is very cost efficient...
Cool

Diesel kakis'

I do buy my engine oil in 18 litre pails. You see, my pick up took in
almost 6-7 litres of expensive engine oil at each change, so those 4 litre
or 5 litres packs might not make sense.

The used pails are tougher than any plastic pails that you can buy on

I have been using 18-litre Delo400 since 1999 but I reckon I am going to
try Delo CXJ 15W40 next time. The additive package is better then Delo400
but base oil is inferior.

As for the empty pail. Have a close look at the top cap that wrap over the
pail. At regualar interval, there are weak link.

I got so many pails that I don't know what to do with them now and it's a
pity to throw them away because compared to normal plastic pail, their
plastic is the mother-of-all-pails. Damn tough.

Hi guys,

Would like to seek your feedback on Mobil Delvac MX 15W40...it is rated CI-4 for diesel commercial
vehicles. Retailing for RM55.75 for 5 litres.

Thanks.
