Hey Guys,

Just wondering what peoples preferences are for oil for the ZD30 motor. I know a lot of people run delo 400 multi-grade 15W-40 in their patrols with the ZD30 and everyone has good things to say about it. Is the delo a mineral or semi-synthetic? Going by the caltex lubricant guide they recommend the Havoline synthetic blend 10w-40. I can get 20L of delo for $101.95 or I can get the Havoline synthetic for $116.80.

Am I better off going the fully synthetic for the little bit extra?

Cheers,
