    May separate thread regarding this. Common answer is just make sue the gas station is located in an area which is not prone to flooding (preferably elevated area) and has no history of fooling its customers.

    Can this DELO 400 along with a Baldwin Filter last for at least 12,000 kms bet. oil changes?
    Try to ask Caltex HQ at Makati City. But Delo 400 plus Baldwin you can easily go 15,000kms. Dami sa Bob isThe Oil Guy forums na mga used oil analysis showing how oil performed after extended drain intervals. 8K-10K miles is common so mga 12k-16K kilometers yun. And the oil is still good.

    Mas mahal talaga yung Delo sa mismong Caltex station kaya kapag may bagong version is konti muna binibili ko sa station tapos aantayin ko magkakaroon yung suki ko na auto parts. kapag oils sa caltex ako, kapag diesel fuel sa petron (dahil sa advantage card) at sa shell para sa 2T (pansin ko mas smooth dito takbo eh). sorry a bit OT. hehe

    Delo 400 is mineral Type II+ (not type II) as per dvldoc's post sa other thread. special type of Type II.

    Delo 400 is CI4 plus (hindi lang CI4, CH4, etc).

    Delo 400 LE is CJ4 na. eto na yung para sa mga DPF equipped diesels. lower na zinc levels nito. boron, etc na ang mataas ata dito to serve as the antiwear additive.

    It will boil down to what your budget dictates. sabagay mataas din naman kung tutuusin yung TBN ng mobil MX (i think pati rin ata anti-wear). download mo na lang muna yung mga msds/pds nung mga tinatarget mo na oil then compare tapos ilaban mo sa budget mo.

    meron pa din yung mga naunang delo multigrades sa mga ibang supplies. ultra ang pinakamarami dito ngayon sa amin. unang nagkakaroon ng 400 aside from caltex dito eh yung mga heavy equipment parts centers.
