[DeTomaso] Translation of motor oil --- typo corrected

[Dave Londry]

Exactly.
====================
Looks like there's 59 of them (or at least a half-dozen)

  * Delo 400 LE SAE 15W-40 (API CJ-4) <#product1>
  * Delo 400 Multigrade SAE 15W-40 (API CI-4 PLUS) <#product2>
  * Delo 400 SAE 10W, 20, 30, 40, 50 <#product3>
  * Delo 400 LE SAE 10W-30 <#product4>
  * Delo 400 Synthetic SAE 0W-30 <#product5>
  * Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-40 (API CJ-4) <#product6>

I didn't find the analysis though.
Charles is far from a Costco, but who knows who might sell it.
