Russ - Table 80 on page 115 shows Mobile Delvac 1240 and Shell Rotella 40 but missing Chevron Delo 100 although it shows something called Ursa Extra Duty SAE40. The ash limit shows as 1% and  CF-2.

Ursa was a Texaco brand from years back fwiw could be Chevron/Texaco is doing a repackaging deal,a Shell distributor told me Shell is dropping the CF/2 oil in 2020

I guess we just need to buy a 55 gal drum next purchase so we don't need to worry where we're going to get it next time!

I dont have a 2 stroke so im not super up on the specs required by detroit, but I came across brad penn oils many years ago when i was researching racing motorcycles and they are highly rated in the performance engine category. They have straight weight oils that are high in ZDDP, i'm not sure if this is a total match for Detroit Diesels but thought to pass it on to let others look into it, as i'm not sure many people have heard of them.

Travellers says 4 stroke in the specs sheet.
But the Phillips and Coastal both say for 2 strokes and meets all CF requirements.

Here is what I use, so far stocked at Western State Oil Co.  Last time I purchased $41.06 for a case of 3 gal.
