Has any one been using the Delo 400LE oil??

I have been using Delo since I bought new in 2007. (30K+ miles)I had bought a few gallons of the Delo 15-40 before they came out with the 400LE.

The API rating does not state "energy conserving" on the 400LE However I do not want to find out the hard way that it will cause my new clutch to slip.

I only have two more oil changes left of the old Delo.

If it wont play well with our wet clutches, I'll have to go to another brand.

Not knowing, I hesitate to answer, but Delo was formulated for diesel engines and would NOT have any energy conserving architecture as diesel engines haven't changed in terms of oil stress. I use Shell Rotella in my bikes, and it is not 'energy conserving' rated. I buy it cheapest at Walmart for around $12.00/gal.

Hey everybody, new guy to the forum just joined today. To Ken on the Delo 400LE I have used since 1st oil change 2011 Venture bought new in 2012. 12.000ish miles on the bike now no problems. I also used in my 1981 Goldwing 96,000 when I sold it. As far as I can tell The LE stands for low emissions for the new diesels.
