Dello 400 30 WT oil
A guy cleaning out a old shop gave me 1 and 1/2 5 gallon buckets of it. One never opened. It is used in a lot of heavy equipment. Any of you guys ever use it in your cars ?

Tell you the truth I could probably use it in my bracket engine but I will use something more race oriented. |

i worked at a Chevron gas station in college and could get 24 cans of 30 wt Delo for $8.00. I used it for 2 years in my 67 Catalina. You could eat off the inside of the valve covers. I was in New Mexico where the weather was much warmer .

Straight 30W is probably a little thick in many parts of the country. But Delo is a quality oil, probably composition wise, very similar to Rotella T of the same time period. Everyone seems to love that stuff.

Makes sense, it has a lot of detergent being a diesel oil. It does not get cold here in coastal upper northern California so I will be fine using it. BTW, I say "upper northern" because to most people Sacramento and San Fransisco are "Northern California. Its not. And not fit to live either.

Sounds like a "go for it" deal
