If you checks the specs on the Mobil website they are identical (the
reason i called to verify). I have two diesel cars that require
synthetic diesel and Delvac has always been hard to get. I usually go
to the CAT dealer here and get their synthetic diesel oil which is
just re-badged Delvac 1. The one Wal-Mart near me carried the Truck
and SUV in quarts so i was buying that and now they are carrying it
in the 5 quart jugs which makes it even better. BTW, here the price
seems to be about the same as it was for Delvac. Actually, the T &S
seems to be a couple of bucks cheaper.
