As always CJ4/SM is going to be better than CF/sl oil, and I will explain why,
Both these oils oils have a good viscocity index, but looks at the TBN the Rev-1 VT SynPro VT Power 5/50 a TBN of only 7.2 which is not that great, good for 5000k but that's about it. It does appear to have 1300ppm zinc vs the others 1100ppm zinc but for a gas engine it's perfectly fine.
The REV-1 Diesell Plus Revo 805M has a TBN of 10.5 and will protect your engine for much longer. Both of these are Group III (synthetic) oils which you can tell by the Visocity index of greater than 120.
The REV-1 Diesel is actually a much better choice for a gas engine because with the Rating of CJ4/SM limits the zinc content to 1200ppm which if perfect for gas.
If your wanting to use this for your diesel I would pass and get a only oils with CH-4 or CI-4 in the rating so you can have the proper 1200ppm and up of zinc for protection. If you don't have roller lifters your really adding unneeded wear using a lesser oil.
hi miked,
do you happen to know how much is the new Delo 400? i asked a caltex station near our house but they said the price is still not available. i also asked why other shops are selling the caltex engine oils cheaper than they are, the manager told me that there are fake caltex engine oils outisde. is this true? if yes, how can u differentiate the fake and genuine caltex engine oils?
TIA
Seems like fake Caltex oils is nothing new.

If you want to see if the place your buying from is selling the real deal ask to see CPI dealership contract certificate and see if it is current. If expired find somewhere else to go.
too bad as a lot of things out there are fake, I just hope that my trusted Top1 SDO are all genuine.
A good list of all Mobil's oils and the zinc content of each, I would avoid any of their advance fuel economy formulations I would never use just because the wear additive package is just way to low at 750ppm of zinc.

There Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck is the best overall oil for gas and diesel for someone who wants to run 40 weight oil is is perfect for that climate. 1200ppm Zinc and 1000 Phosphorus and it is of course it's CJ-4, CI-4, CI-4 Plus, SM, rated oil.
Mobil's second best oils is all there high mileage formulations. all have 1100ppm Zinc and 1000 Phosphorus that's what you should be running from the start vs when you get high miles on your vehicle.
As wear increases, the efficiency of an engine declines. Valve train wear slightly changes valve timing and movement. Ring and liner wear affect compression. The wear hurts fuel efficiency and power output by an imperceptible amount at first, but then the difference in fuel economy between an SAE 10W-30 and SAE 5W-20 is hardly noticeable. Efficiency continues to decline as wear progresses. Optimizing wear protection is the way to reduce fuel consumption over the life of the engine. And for me I won't use anything with less than 1000ppm zinc in it on anything.
Unfortunately most SM, SN oils don't cut it. You pretty much better off with non US brands in most cases that don't have the same restrictions of the EPA. You don't want to trade oil life for engine wear protection.

which is better between Royal Purple 15W-40 and Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck? Are bothe CI4/SN or CI4+...TIA
Both have about 1200ppm zinc so the level of protection will be about the same, it's going to come down to price.

I bought my Montero 4M41 a Baldwin BF7535 fuel filter which is the direct replacement for OEM#1770A053 according to the Baldwin website. However, after casa installed I had problems of engine stalling once everyday for 2 days. Went back to casa to have it check and they replaced the suction control valve (SCV). Good thing it's still under warranty. But the problem of stalling still persists. So I bought the OEM filter and replaced it myself. Now no more stalling. Hindi ba pwede anf BF7535 para sa 4M41??
Could have been a gasket issue letting in air or it was not threaded on properly or tightly. Lots of people running that filter. But the Toyota fuel filter is actually pretty good.

Casa installed it very tight as in we had to use vise just to unscrew the filter. Di ba dapat hand-tightened lang? Out of stock na kasi yung BF7534 sa Volmaxx. Anyways, I'll give Baldwin another shot on my next heavy pms pero baka BF7534 na. Thanks locoroco and doc
