Where to buy Delo 20W ?

[bennett]

Tried all the usual places..Autozone, Checker and Walmart.. I find 30W Ok but want some 20W to finish out winter.
Any suggestions?.. Where do the Tractor guys get it?

[billrei]

Not to be a wiseguy but winter ended yesterday... I would think 30W would be find now.

I have never seen 20W Delo. I have only seen 30W and 15W40. I would think that 15W40 would be much better suited for Winter than 20W. It also works year round.

Good luck,

Why would you be using straight weight oil? I use Delo 400 15W-40 from Walmart, about $6.50 a gallon.

Why would you use a 20W oil in a 20 year old engine? I know a few new cars (2003+) that call for 5w-20 and 0w-20 but no MB let alone a diesel MB should ever have that stuff in its crank case.

My engine cranks over plenty fast at 0 degrees with Mobil 1 15w-50 in the sump.

I grew up on a 235 Chevy Thriftmaster 6 cylinder and use straight weight oils , mostly Havoline 30 Weight. I guess I just don't likek change.. that's why I bought a Benz.
Remember the good ole days of puncturing your metal oil can and putting in a filler spout to add oil? Straight weight rulz!...
The reason I brought up the subject is that I ran into a guy that had 2 cases for his VW Vanagon diesel and hw woould not tell me where he got it... He called it Liquid Gold!... I'll go 15-40 w.. I was just curious.
