Delo 400 15W40 with a Motorcraft FL-1995 Iron has never been above 7ppm and copper never above 2ppm on an oil analysis.

Delo 400 or Schaeffr's 15W-40 have been great for me. Low Iron & copper #'s on used oil analysis. Gonna try Schaeffer's 9000 (5w-40) next.

I wanted to try the Schaffer's as well but the nearest outlet to me is 100 miles away.
I don't care HOW good it is, that's just not worth it.

a 100 miles is too far. Did you call the 1-800 number on the web site? If you call the 1-800# and ask for the nearest sales rep you might have better luck. The web site only lists the retail outlets, plus the sales rep can save you 15-20% off retail.

Kwik,
White buffalo is right on. Sales rep was 5 miles away and he shipped it right to the front door. Much easier than I thought it would be.

I'll try the 800 number on Monday. I entered my zip code on the web site. Seems like they need to update things.
And it's going to have to wait for now anyway. I ordered a case of Mobil 1 Delvac 5-40 for this time around.
