SNIP: I use Chevron Delo 400 straight 40 wt. in my Lehman. Easy to find on
the Gulf Coast anyway. I switched from Rotella because it was too hard to
find around here. I get it at any auto supply place."

I have been told NOT to use Delo 400 but rather their 100 because of its
rating not meeting DD specs. These are the oils that I know about ads being
suitable: 
API codes CC/SC, or Supplement 1 CB.   
Chevron DELO 100 40 (not their 400)
Exxon XD3 40 (XD3 Extra 40 as a second choice)
Mobil Delvac 1240 (no second choice)
Citgo Citgard 500 40 or Citgard 600 40
Texaco Ursa Extra Duty 40
Shell Rotella T 40
