It’s interesting to point out the factory fill 10w/30 has a higher level of both zinc and phosphorous over the Delo.

Phosphorus over 1,000 was the change in the new F1 requirement from Ford.

Correct, I was just a little surprised the CJ-4 Delo LE just barely met the F1 requirement being a previous API rated oil. It’s strange how there’s no new Chevron F-1 spec approved CK-4 oil as of yet? It’s possible chevron kept making the CJ-4 LE oils longer until they would get an approval by Ford for the new spec? Hard to say.

Also wondering how the Amsoil stacks up against the Lube Engineers diesel oils?

I think you are close. Blackstone is saying this is a very high quality oil and a good recommendation in the 6.7. That’s all. I was curious to see how close to 1,000 phosphorus was reported. So far it’s one of the strongest oils I’ve seen to meet/exceed the new F1 standard.
