Its a good conventional oil though and you're buying a gallon for just under the price of 2 quarts of M1...
When I was driving my '83 240D I was using conventional oil which is something I at least think about when I buy the M1 for the '78 240D... ;) Actually when I drove the '83 240D on the last go-around I was using the cheapest conventional oil I could get which happened to be Car Quest brand. Based on the fact that nothing bad happened related to the oil (until the oil cooler line broke which I can't attribute to the oil) it was totally fine for ~25,000 miles. If I had another super-beater (I paid $400 for the car remember) I'd go the super cheap oil route again. -Curt Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 19:00:22 -0400 From: Allan Streib <str...@cs.indiana.edu> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Delvac sale at Oreally?

The Delvac 1300 is not synthetic, though. Delvac-1/M1 "Turbo Diesel Truck" is the synthetic stuff.
