I know -- not another oil thread.  I admit I don't normally read them
myself, so I probably have missed discussion of this.  So I do
apologize if this is old news, but... I was at Wal Mart yesterday
looking for Mobil 1 Truck and SUV  and I noticed that it is now 5W-30
weight and no longer diesel rated.

Looking around, they had nothing else they had in stock as far as
Mobil 1 seemed suitable.  I am overdue for an oil change, so I picked
up 2 gallons of Chevron Delo -- inexpensive, and good oil (though not
Mobil 1).

It's a bit frustrating that they keep reformulating and relabeling
these oils.  Hopefully they are at least improving them in the
process.

So, for reference next time, what is the recommended M1 oil for an MB
diesel?  Do I need to hunt down some Devlac 1?
