I needed oil for our '91 300D (182K mi) and finally found some at Advance
Auto - "M1 Turbo Truck" in 5W40. I hesitated at 1st but the bottle says
"substitute for 15W40"
I haven't seen this before. The present oil (15W40 M1) has about 4k on it
so I'm getting ready. But since we're having 100F days here I'm wondering
if it's a good idea to put a 5W in it?
I'm seeing oil pressure around 1.5 bar when idling at 210F.....
any comments?
Thx

The Car Quest brand 15w40 is cheaper by the gallon than ANY oil at the
big FLAPs too and only marginally more expensive than the cheapest
Wal-Mart has.
But what's in the bottle? Is it recycled?
