So, i've been a Delo guy all my life, my dad ran Delo in his IDI, my granddad ran it in his cummins, I've ran it in every diesel truck I've had... But this last oil change came due and all I could get my hands on was Rotella. Went to 3 parts houses and couldn't find a single gallon of my old reliable oil... 
So with a Wix p-stroke filter (same as always) and the usual three gallons of oil (rotella this time) I did my oil change. That was almost 4500 miles ago now. I change it every 5k because I run a bypass filter setup. Strange thing is that I have always, with every truck (including my curent truck,) had to add at least a couple quarts between changes when running Delo.
I have not put a single drop of oil into the engine in the last 4500 miles, it's down to about half way on the "FULL" zone on the stick. Why that is I really don't know. Plus side of that is I still have a couple quarts of Rotella in the jug for the next oil change.
FYI- All the generator contractors we work with run Valvoline Premium Blue in the big gensets. Cummins and Cat. I might try and get my hands on some of that next time.
