Mobil 1 "Truck & SUV" same as Delvac 1?

I heard this from a member.. saw it at walmart for $19.97 a gallon.. is it the SAME exact stuff. The ratings on the back of the jug are different from the standard Mobil 1 but I forgot what exactly to look for.. I thought diesel was a CH or CF rating and I don't think I saw it.

The PO changed the oil at the FSS interval on my E300 all it's life with synthetic.. somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 miles. I'm coming up on 9,000 and getting nervous.. FSS says there is still 2,500 miles to go.

Yes

Yes, there are several posts about this and the data sheets from Mobil are identical.

It's CI rated, which is what you want. Just picked some up myself.

It's identical.... For marketing purposes it's be re-branded as another product.

This is cool. I've known about the Truck & SUV so I've been using it since I've had my car. Yesterday I just started my second 7k mile oil change interval. I changed at 6500 though yesterday since my mom's driving the SDL to Madison, WI today. I saved a couple pints of the old oil so I can send it in for analysis.

Thanks
David
