What is the recommendation for the first oil change? I have 50 miles on a new engine. Did the cam break in out of the car.

I think you're thinking of Rotilla T, last info I had on Delo was:

15W40 CHEVRON DELO 400LE Diesel Oil, conventional, API CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CH-4, CF-4,CF/SM, = 73,520 psi
zinc = 1519 ppm
phos = 1139 ppm
ZDDP = 1300 ppm

I do know the lighter grades of Delo have a lot less zinc.

Now I'll have to check because the last time I bought Delo was about 4 years ago, I bought a whole skid of pails. My tractor engine and trans oil change (same oil) is over 2 pails (40+ quarts/liters).

I'm down to my last pail so I'll ask for the spec when I go to order.

On Chevron Delo 400 LE 15w40 they list zinc as .13% mass which is 1300ppm, still good.

But I'm correct, the lighter grades of Delo do have less zinc, as low as 760ppm
