Is Delo 400 15-40 the same as Rotella T4

Peter,

I am NOT a petroleum engineer, but my "guess" is that it is an "acceptable substitute".

But, hard to believe there is a place that doesn't have Delo 400 15-40 (current supply issues aside). 

Said another way, commonly stocked at Walmart, etc.

Thanks Brett, I have been using Rotella T4 for the engine and when I blew a hydraulic line
I filled up with the Rotella T4 as I had lots of that.  I don't think Walmart in Vancouver area
carries Delo 400 15-40 and Rotella can only be got online through them. What ever I use for
the hydraulics I would just as soon use it in the engine.

Oh I'm sure I can find Delo 400 15-40 up here. Chevron will carry it.

A quick update. We called ABC-Companies in Winter Garden (listed on the Foretravel Service Center Referral List) and when they heard we had a '92 the told us they couldn't do the work. Ended up setting up a Steering Box refurb/replace with a Foretravel trained mechanic about 60 miles away who was recommended by another member of the Florida Chapter. Thanks once again to everyone for your help on this.
