What do you guys pay for delo 400 these days?

I see agrimark sells delo 400 for R435, 20L for R1600. (https://www.agrimark.co.za/product/calt ... d_source=1).

I personally have changed to Shell Rimula R4X.

Delo's just too hard to find.

Shell Remula R4X
Delo 400
Fuchs Titan Truck 15w40
Wolf 15w40

Any one of those will work fine, you don't have to change the oil viscosity as the engine ages. The TD42 dos not have a problem with oil........ it will be happy with anything really as long as you service it.

I heard that Midas Gold is basically the old Delo 400 that has been re-badged?

(I think Reenen said this at one stage, can't really recall)

I change the oil & filters in my TD42 so often that I do not really believe any of the (decent) brands will make a difference.

PS: I am glad nobody has said something silly like "My TD42 just loves xyz brand!" When your engine speaks to you, you are running out of time quickly and should start getting your testament in order :rolling:

Reenen - GLAZING word meestal gevorm wanneer mense hul enjins vir onnodig lank laat ídle'.. Dis die killer daai VERAL DIE MODERNE diesels met lae sulfur diesel.. Daai @stroke olie WERK in die voorkoming van glazing [glassuring, as jy wil by Afr hou]
