Title: 40W oil in LV
Post by: lvmci on July 14, 2014, 03:57:11 PM
Hi All, just picked up some Mobil Delvac 1240 40W, here in Las Vegas Valley, at Western Refining, the Mobil Oil Distributer in North Las Vegas. At $16.37 a gallon. Delo 100, which you can get at O'Reilys, on Spring Mt Rd for $12.99 a gallon and Union 76/Conoco T5X 40W at $11.22 a gallon at the Rebel Oil distributer near Sahara and the I15 fwy. I know a lot of you pass thru LV and a lot of towns don't carry these brands any more, all three of these places are easy to get to, just passing on the info, lvmci...

Ok folks, Hope I`m not jacking or derailing this thread but thought it was relevant.  My 5A is  in the service garage in Port Charlotte Fla and I tagged a couple threads on oil/40 wt and ash content and gathered it  was important for my engine and
as I`m searching the forum for specific brands and ash % content I see the posts are from 07 and one says that as of end of 07 no more ash in the oils per EPA/Gov??? Info on best oil to tell service tec to use please as I can dictate/order the oil needed per MCI/my recommendations. as long as its still available?
Any help would be GREAT!!! I`m drafting a service needed list and would like to include to exact oil needed .
  And if anyone knows , lubes for the rest on the drive train as I`m gona have`m change`m all.
Thanks a heap~!
Plannin on real soon bringing her home 2-3 more weeks. Yee Haw!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chompin at the bit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought 2 gallons of Rotella 40W at Napa today for my friend's bus which I'll be delivering to him in AL later this week. It was nearly $19 per gallon!!

Any good 40w will work ash doesn't come into play with the new fuel I am a fan of Delvac 1240 myself for the 2 strokes not a big fan of Delo 100 JMO

Hi Lou, buy your own 40W, provide it to the service person and ask for the jugs back, believe me I have said I would provide and pick up the oil, only to be told they had some. when the oil all leaked out at a fast rate, I found out, they had put their own generic 10/40W oil from the shop pump system, despite their assurances,  lvmci...
