Then get Delo 400 it's TBN is 16 and with a gas engine you can easily take that to 15000klm with a Baldwin filter.

January 2nd, 2013 12:33 PM #3053Doc I'm not sure that Delo 400 TBN is 16. I looked it up on the website you gave me for the caltex website and the TBN there is just 12.2
http://www.caltex.com.au/productsand...n.aspx?ID=1639
The price of Delo Gold Ultra is less than 200 pesos while Delo 400 is around 400 pesos (and really hard to find an auto supply or caltex station that sells it). Is it more economical to go with Delo gold than Delo 400 if the TBN difference is just 2 points?

You are correct. was thinking of a different one. Very high ZDDP content in Delo 400, You can look for Top 1 as well http://www.top1oil.com/products/diesel

January 2nd, 2013 11:53 PM #3058After checking the container it was indeed delo gold and not delo gold ultra. I asked for delo gold ultra specifically but failed to notice it was just delo gold that the sales lady gave me since i was on my way to work and a little bit in a hurry. My bad... To Doc, what is the best bang for the buck oil that I can get besides Delo Gold Ultra and Top1 SDO?

January 3rd, 2013 01:10 AM #3059Doc Mobil Delvac MX has a high TBN of 12 and only around 210 pesos per liter in one of the distributors here in Pampanga. According to its MSDS it has 2500 ppm ZInc

Since my gas engine car does not have a cat con its not going to be a problem if i use it, but is this oil good fo 10,000 OCI on a 2012 montero sport of course with a bd28 filter partnered with it (my fathers car).
Also why is the more expensive (by 2-3x) Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 fully synthetic oil have a lower TBN of 10.7?

Here is the pds of the Mobil delvac MX being sold in the philippines. Mobil Delvac MX 15W-40
For its zinc level, the pne you posted shows less than 2.5% but in some used oil analysis (UOA) i got from the net, zinc level is around 1,700ppm so hindi puwede sa gas engines with catcon. On the other hnd, Delo Gold Ultra, Top 1 SDoand Mobil 1 TDT 5w40 is about 1200ppm ang zinc.
When was the last time you changed them? If it's been a while, I suggest following your mechanic's...
