Unfamiliar with it Coxy,  I have used the Delo line in a Gas VW, very happy with it there.
Friend runs Delo in a Cummins and again very happy

Looking at the Chevron write-up it looks like a "Modern" Oil that is backward compatible.

What do you want to run it in?

I squealed when I bought oil for the tractor and the truck on Friday, 98 FREAKIN DOLLARS for a 20 liter pail :o Chevron is a very reputable brand, as long as the API classification is suitable for your engines you are good to go.

I buy Mobil Delvac 15-40 when it goes on sale, I think with a mail in rebate it's around $6/gallon. I'm not familiar with the Chevron but as long as the spec is right I'm sure it's good oil.
