Proper lubrication is crucial for any engine, but it’s especially important for high performance diesel engines. Mobil’s Delvac 15W-40 oils rank among the most trusted products in America when you want protection and performance for your heavy-duty vehicles and equipment. Nevertheless, appropriate substitutions can be made when necessary. An alternative can be useful when your preferred brand is in short supply or overpriced.
Let’s take a quick look at the Mobil Delvac 15W-40 line of engine oils:
This is the entry-level full mineral oil product in the Delvac catalog, intended for use on highway and off-highway diesel vehicles and equipment. It is commonly used in industries including construction, mining, agriculture, and marine, extending engine life by controlling deposit buildup.
This semisynthetic oil (also called a “synthetic blend”) combines the performance advantages of mineral and synthetic oils. It is known for improved low temperature performance and higher resistance to oxidation as compared to mineral oils. This is a common solution deployed in large commercial transportation fleets.
Mobil Delvac’s full synthetic diesel engine oil is the one to go for when you want to be confident of optimum performance. Recent-generation low-emission diesel engines benefit most from Mobil Delvac synthetic, with noteworthy improvements in fuel economy and engine longevity.
There are several products available that can act as a substitute for Mobil Delvac diesel engine oils.
These include Shell Rotella’s T4 15W-40 (mineral), T5 15W-40 (synthetic blend), and T6 15W-40 (full synthetic) products.
