1/2 Delvac 1 5w-40
1/2 delvac 1300 15w-40

Delvac 1300 has a bit of moly, delvac 1 keeps stuff slean, both are compatible mobil products using the same additive packages, so there is no chance of additive clash.

I have tried allthe oils, I have found that delo 400 and rotella give the worst MPG. Pennzoil longlife and delvac 1300 arent much better. Delvac 1 gives reproducible 29-31 MPG (vs 27-28 with the others), but is quite expensive. Doing the mix gives reproducible 29-30, and works great in my 83 300D.
