Delo 400 15w40 in a gas engine?

I use it in my higher mileage vehicles during the summer. I don't have a bottle handy, but I'm pretty sure it's rated SH? for automotive use.

I copied the following text from the Chevron web site - "Universal Protection for Turbocharged and Supercharged Diesel and Gasoline Engines" and "Chevron Delo 400 Multigrade is a mixed fleet motor oil recommended for all naturally aspirated and turbo-charged four-stroke diesel engines and four-stroke gasoline engines in which the API grade and SAE 15W-40 viscosity grade are recommended. It is formulated for engines operating under severe service and a wide range of climatic conditions."

Can't figure out why you'd worry about this -- Delo 400 carries all current certifications for automotive service.

...measuring? Why? 1 gallon = 4 quarts.

DS

any engine oil rated for diesel engines will be fine in a gas motor as long as its the proper viscosity........

diesel engines are harder on engine oil than gas engines
