Delo 400 to possibly return.

Ha! I know a few around here with TDs, used to use Delo. I did and the TD loved it.
Then it vanished... Or did it?

So Caltex servos vanished too, evolved into Ampol. Something to do with Chervon vs Caltex brand and naming rights. "Supposedly" this naming rights deal ends soon/this year and Caltex will once again be able to sell their Caltex branded stuff.
Caltex them selves own Puma energy servoes around Aus. And they began re-badging some of those servos back to Caltex.
Thats where i was working next to this morning, at one of those sites and was talking to one of the henchmen there. (He lost me with the full story up there, but thats what I understood out of it,...)
He reckons, once all the legalities with naming etc settle, it'll all be back to how it was including the products when theyre legally allowed to sell it again.

Take all this with a piece of ocean salt, but if it eventuates, i'm kinda excited !

Hodgey Brother, definitely worth querying your mechanics at work for wants [emoji1696][emoji120]
Only 2 x New ISUZU’s in our baby fleet at work and both have ‘Caltex-Delo’ stickers on their windscreens recently.
In regards, TD42’s, run ‘em much hotter than told before ….clean your OEM radiators ( not in-vehicle) pull out and flush off and……..aaargh stuff it TP

Our resident depot diesel grease monkey can only ship in the Delo 400 MGX variety. Even that is now obsolete I believe.
It was a temporary substitute when proper Delo vanished. You may find your Suzus filled with that.
Its missing a few dot points , making it unsuitable for the TDs from memory.

Makes sense now to Nuffy Me Hodgey Mate [emoji106][emoji106]
As Valvoline’used to say’ “oils aint oils” honey anymore [emoji22]
Uneducated, at a guess only, listening to old truckers from pre-water consistency days the needs of a TD too possibly cannot be met by NEW AGE formulas under same names with different ACRONYMS affixed at the labels end…ABCDXRXRC ?? [emoji23]
Runny shit is runny shit in TD Land IMNuffyO [emoji848]
