Mobil 1 Delo ESP 5W-40 - Diesel Forum

Hello, is there anyone out there that has been able to locate Mobil 1 Delo ESP, oil in Canada? I have been looking everywhere here and have not been able to find any. I want to find a CJ-4 CERTIFIED (read no amsoil comments please) synthetic 5W-40 I can run year round. As far as I know this is the only one available yet. If anyone has found any or knows of another brand I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Rob

I went through this in December. I called an Esso bulk station and they gave me a number to the main lubricant guy for them in Calgary. He informed me that it would not be available in Canada till the end of winter or later. I'm not sure if it's up here yet, but I would call an Esso bulk station and see if they know anything.

If that fails, I bought 4 gallons from this company: AV Lubricants they shipped it for about $60.00 and then duty fees, if I remember correct

Aint that the way it goes. The oil that is best in the cold will be available in the spring! Oh well, thanks for the info I guess it will shop up eventually.

I was reading my 20L pail and don't think that it meets the CJ-4 yet. Thier 1300 series does reading the pail the other day in one of the stores. Have you got enought km's on your truck yet. What part of the island or you? With the price of the syn's I will be going to the the Petro _ _ _ _ _ _ for theres is cheeper. I think that it was $135.00 vs $210 the last time I picked a pail up.

If you use the ??? CI ++ or so think that the seveare oil change must be fallowed.

I have talked to many OTR truckers who also have light duty trucks at home. The main topic was oil. They said that running 15-W40 will not do any harm. Now, if you read my past posts, I have used the following oils:
- Factory Fill
- PSD 10-W30
- AMSOIL 5-W40
- PSD 15-W40

For the costs right now, PSD oil works for me because you can get it for $2 a quart in the 5 quart jugs. I live in MN, and know what cold does to one of these trucks. Until the price comes down...conventional is the way for me.
