What`s the deal with the red cap? Does it mean there is less zinc in the product so the cats are not damaged?
I have run out of the older DELO.
Just concerned since we all have flat tappets for the cam.
Tried to do a search with no success...................Even tried to find the MDSS on Chevron`s site.
Do I need more ZDDP added to the oil----------------------THANKS.

 

The "M" in MSDS was found to be immaterial, therefor it is now called SDS. Try the Chevron Safety Data Sheets site for ALL Chevron SDS needs.
Back to morning brew . . .

 

I use CamGuard in my airplane (independently documented benefits). They make a formulation for diesels. Anyone using it?

Chevron SDS indicates zinc phos @0.1-<2.5%weight
This is back in Feb 2015-over 2 years ago
Is that the stuf with the RED CAP?
Just what does that mean in terms of ppm.
Just does NOT tell me a **** thing!

 

Thanks all-just searched BITOG and not too concerned,
Time will tell if the new ck flavor delo is friendly.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

 

a couple of years ago everyone was panicking over the switch from CI-4 to CJ-4, the "on paper" specs were changing and zinc was disappearing.. the actual performance of the oil however increased, as it did with this latest CK oil ..
