Chevron Oil?

I have noticed here that no one mentions using Delo 15w-40 made by Chevron. Is no one using this oil? Something that I should stay away from?

Used it for 2.5 million miles in my class 8 truck and I use it in my PSD...great oil at a fair price. I just wish Costco would stock 10-30 in the winter...I have to pay about $12 nore per case at a jobber for it.

I am referring to Delo 400 oil (diesel rated oil)...Where I am it is easier to start on cold mornings and I get a bit better fuel mileage with 10-30W in the winter than 15-40W.
