Thats interesting, hope it actually pans out. I might consider
switching to m1 again.

Correction: Mobil 5W-30 Truck and SUV formula IS rated CD & CF so is
suitable for light duty diesel service. Doesn't seem to meet ACEA B-3,
B-4 so it's inferior to other M-1 oils.

I called the Mobil 1 tech support at 800 662 4542. Basically they were very
apologetic for the SNAFU that the 're-labeling' has caused. Currently
Autozone is scheduled to pick up stocking of the 'Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck
5W-40' This was directly commutated as a done deal with the word
'immediately' used. Wallmart and the others are to follow but did not get a
firm answer as to their commitment and or schedule. The rep was aware that
the re-labeling has caused a stocking problem at many (all?) of their
consumer outlets of this product and has not be beneficial to their
marketing of it. The target consumer of it is diesel pickup truck owners.
He (the rep) told me that 'Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40' is Delvac 1 and
is no different that the 'discontinued' Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 5W-40. However
all the above was verily commutated over the telephone .
