The local farm store had this oil on sale for $10 for 2 gallon jugs. I
bought a couple of cases of it to use in the 92 SD that leaks/burns oil,
but after researching in it, maybe this oil is decent oil which compares
to Delvac 1300 or Delo.

Good quality diesel oil like Delo 400 LE is cheap. I can do a complete change
with Delo 400 LE on the 95 E300D for under $35 every 5000 miles and not have
concerns. If I used Mobil1 it would be near twice the cost. Since Mobil1 is a
group 3 base stock it’s not that much better than conventional dino juice in my
opinion.
Oh yeah, if I drop another $20 on oil analysis I’ve driven my costs up even
more.

So here we go again. My line of thinking has been that if you go synthetic over
Dino, can you double the internal? For example earlier engines like 617 and 603
have a factory 5k interval. Could you go 10k on those with synthetic? Later
engines such as 606 have a 7500 mile interval, so could those go 14-15k? I am
thinking so but others have said that is crazy don’t go more than 5k on M1
since it’s a group 3. If you go amsoil or one of those that’s group 4 you can
probably go 10-15k on. If I can double the interval it’s with it to me. I don’t
really need the cold start benefit. I am not sure if it’s a benefit on a 2-300k
mile engine that has ran on Dino it’s whole life.

You're not wasting it on a 60x engine. Oil analysis of the two 601s I had
suggested they could handily go 10,000miles on Mobil 1 between changes.I mean I
guess if you really like changing the oil...

in the diesel. Delvac or Delo 400 at Dead Sam’s will be more than adequate and far less
expensive.

I got a filter yesterday and going to change the oel in this dizzel. I'm
guessing cheepcheep Delvac will be fine? Don't want to go M1 and pay for that.
I also got the Kumhos mounted on it, have not taken it out yet as it is running
badly now, again, going out to change the fuel filter and see if that helps.
The tires look pretty good, no telling how they will be but if they last a
while it's all good.
I heard the vac valve or whatever it is on the fender that is connected to the
EGR making some kind of gurgling noise so wonder if the EGR is not working
right now. I pulled the hose and it hissed so there was vacuum in the hoses, I
guess those are OK. I think I'll just do the rewiring bypass on the EGR and be
done with it but need to get organized to do that.
