Sir, which oil is much better for stock engine honda 92...Shell Helix HX5 or Caltex Delo Gold?
Both are 15w-40.

Any inputs will be highly appreciated. TY

If you'll choose Caltex, make it Delo Gold Ultra, just about right ang ZDDP niya, not to hurt catalytic converter of gasoline engine cars . . .

That's what they (car manufacturers) want you to think.

Cat con reduces emissions but SUPPOSEDLY harmed by high ZDDP. Since you don't have cat con, you don't have to worry about your zinc levels unless it harms other parts. Let's wait for the gurus to verify this. Kung wala naming nasisirang ibang parts like cat con yung high ZDDP, you don't have to worry about it.
