Why so hot for 20-50? I ran 15w40 in my 240Ds all summer and switched to 15w50
M1 in the winter for easier cold starts.
In a 60x engine you can do synthetic and change the oil less often but IIRC you
don't drive that much. If I ran conventional oil back when I used to commute
all the time I'd have had to change the oil every other month...

I had the oil debate over Polei. I figured that all the extra pennies for full
synth would not be economical in the SDL, and standard diesel oil would be
fine. The 20-50 is like hen’s teeth now. FLAPS guy said the call for
something that thick is waning. Used only in diesels. My response was of the
DUH! sort, as I was purchasing Diesel oil at the time and wanted to know if the
20-40 was going to be good enough
