Are there other refiners actually making synthetic nowadays? One question is how much an oil companies choice of additives is responsible for a motors increased longevity. I remember when high performance engines were required to add "whale oil" to dino oil since dino oil could not maintain a film between the bearing surfaces. Even some high performance Chrysler engines required whale oil. I don't know if it was an additive or the advent of synthetic oil that made whale oil unnecessary. Does anyone know which oils for the new Mercedes Diesels are recommended? Has anyone sent off diesel oil samples for testing lately? IMO if the amount of synthetic in Mobil1 was cut, it would be in the oils for gas burners. I don't think Exxon would have cut the synthetic in oil for diesels because of the much heavier bearing loads on diesel engines, but that's just a guess of course.

Fellow here in Michigan keeps waiting for Polaris Labs to tell him his Amsoil Signature oil is worn out. His 2014 Cruze is emissions deleted, so there's no added fuel dilution from particulate filter regeneration cycles. And he drives gently, has gone over 1000 miles on an 18 gallon tank 2-3 times. https://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/113-titan-synthetics/225817-amsoil-ctd-saga-continues.html The guy who posted the lab results is his Amsoil dealer. I can put you in touch with him, and he'll buy you a 6 month membership so you can get free shipping and 25% off (in exchange for whatever credit he gets for referring you). A 12 pack of their best oil will still be around $140 with the discount, true synthetic costs more than hydrocracked group III base stocks.

The Royal Purple and the Castrol lawsuits seemed to have opened up the naming controversies about synthetic. Marshall Booth investigated the synthetic oil business early on and found that Mobil was the only synthetic oil manufacturer worldwide. All other oil companies advertising synthetic were buying synthetic oil from Mobil. As a result the advertising claims of other oil companies became muddled. Here is an abstract of the report of the Castrol lawsuit: "A Defining Moment For Synthetics By Katherine Bui published October 1999 Lubricants World While the field is not wide open, a new ruling confirms that the definition of "synthetic" is still largely in the hands of marketers. Part 1 of 2 Synthetic. The word has become almost a proscription in the industry, especially among scientific and technical organizations, such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the American Petroleum Institute (API). Ask a marketer of motor oil products formulated with hydroprocessed mineral oils, and you might get a definition that involves cost-efficiencies and consumer choices. Ask an engineer involved in manufacturing polyalphaolefins (PAOs) or esters, and composition might be the determining factor. Despite the intense debate over the origins of synthetics, an absolute definition has remained in limbo for many years, with much of the responsibility placed on base oil manufacturers and lubricant marketers. It was only recently, in a decision by the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, that the first basic action and ruling in the United States set a strong precedence for a broader description in the marketing of synthetics. In this first installment of a two-part story, Lubricants World takes a look at the NAD's ruling and explores the revived debate surrounding the definition of "synthetic." The Ruling In a ruling released April 1999, the NAD addressed complaints filed by Mobil Oil Corp. regarding the truthfulness of Castrol North America Inc.'s claim that its Syntec® provides "superior engine protection" to all other motor oils, both synthetic and conventional, and that Syntec's esters provide "unique molecular bonding." Mobil charged that the advertisements inaccurately represented that the current formulation of Syntec is synthetic. The challenge was filed based on statements Castrol made in a series of television commercials, Web site publications, package labels, and brochures. The NAD divided its decision to address three issues raised in the complaint. Is the reformulated Syntec synthetic motor oil? Has Castrol substantiated its superiority claims? Has Syntec been degraded? Synthetic? The NAD determined that the evidence presented by the advertiser constitutes a reasonable basis for the claim that Castrol Syntec, as currently formulated, is a synthetic motor oil. NAD noted that Mobil markets hydroisomerized basestocks as synthetic in Europe and elsewhere. NAD noted that the action taken by the SAE to delete any reference to "synthetic" in its description of basestocks in section J354 and API's consequent removal of any mention of "synthetic" in API1509 were decisions by the industry not to restrict use of the term "synthetic" to the definition now proffered by Mobil. Further, the SAE Automotive Lubricants Reference Book, an extensively peer-reviewed publication, states base oils made through the processes used to create Shell's hydroisomerized basestock, severe cracking, and reforming processes may be marketed as "synthetic." Superior? Despite its prior ruling, the NAD advised that Syntec could not advertise a superior protection claim. Degraded? The NAD determined that though Mobil presented clear evidence that Castrol has made a major change to Syntec's formulation, it was not sufficient to demonstrate that Syntec has been "degraded."snip http://www.1st-in-synthetics.com/a_defining_moment_for_synthetics.htm --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery
Re: [MBZ] How about an oil thread to keep your minds off of the hurricane?
These days, I suspect all the major refinery name 'full synthetics' (note that they don't and can't call them 100% synthetic) are made to be good enough, and you just hope that good enough doesn't mean 'just barely qualifies to not get us in trouble for false advertising'. If you want the best oil, you can get Amsoil for 75% of retail, which is astronomical compared to the big name crap, but a good price compared to applying an inflation index to the 1990 price of M1, when M1 was a group IV oil made to be the best. I used to think Royal Purple was a cut above M1 / Syntec / etc, but I've seen some oil analysis reports lately that put it slightly below M1. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] How about an oil thread to keep your minds off of the hurricane?
I started using Valvoline synthetic in my pickup. At around 6,000 miles into a change the engine started to get a little shudder like a miss at idle, change the oil and it went away. Also had a little lifter tick that went away on fresh oil. A couple months ago I switched to M1, the tick is much quieter, I'm only about 2,000 miles into the experiment so we'll see. -Curt On Wednesday, September 12, 2018, 5:01:56 PM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: So, what is the current feeling about oil?

Re: [MBZ] How about this
Planning on powering the whole neighborhood? You’ll need a BIG air compressor, too, as that big black hose on the right is an air line for the starter (air starter). No air or large storage tank full of air and no start. Unusual for a unit of this size. The problem you will run into with the larger commercial stuff is finding a unit that can be reconnected to 120/240 V single phase. Most 12 lead generators can be, but they lose roughly 1/3 of their rated output at single phase ratings due to losses. That’s not a bad thing, but if you buy a three phase 15kW unit, you’ll only end up with maybe 10kW when you reconnect it for single phase operation. If you’re patient you should be able to find a decent gas unit below 50kW for under $5k, or even less depending on size. Again, a lot of these are take-outs from municipalities that are upgrading or renovating. They will have been well maintained and have low (under 500) hours on them depending on the age. And old isn’t bad here - think about a 240D versus a W140. Controls and other bits are much simpler and easier to repair/replace. Dan On Nov 22, 2014, at 6:29 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] How about this
Go big or go home... as the saying goes... Perfect size to run a circus midway... should only cost you about 6 to 10 gallons of fuel per hour at full load... Picking the right size generator requires taking a serious look at your actual electrical usage and needs, then work backwards to select a generator that fills those needs with some room for growth.. My pick was diesel simply because diesel will store for longer period without becoming unusable. 3 months storage and gas will be quite stale and you will have running / starting problems.. Also a water cooled diesel, running at 1800 RPM will last much longer, be less irritating to have in the background, and if the bottom drops out of fuel supply, it will run on vegetable oil, or even used engine oil, worst case.. I have two.. one 7.5 KW and one 10 KW.. both diesel.. It's what worked for me. On Sat, Nov 22, 2014 at 4:29 PM, Kaleb C.

It needs to start the heat pump with a few other loads going, unless you plan on running it part time. If you only run it when needed, you can start the generator, start the heat pump, let the well pump refill the tank, then turn on some lights and refrigerator/freezer...then shut it all down when the heat pump catches up. My parents don't have any HVAC compressors, but they have an electric range. One burner would bring their old 11hp Coleman to its knees.

They included a brown '72 Wagon with the automatic, 100% dependable but SLOW, a blue '74 wagon, parts donor for the '72, orange '78 with primered orange front end since it had been wrecked by the PO, light blue '79 Bobcat hatchback, a very good runner with 135K on it and still kicking when we sold it), '80 yellow Bobcat hatch for parts, and the white '80 Pinto Wagon with 80K original miles. They are easy enough to work on, but I much prefer the MB diesels, of course.

Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?
I drove a 71-1/2 Pinto Fastback (the one with the big back window) as the third in the chain of hand-me-downs through the family. Dad bought it new for Mom, big brother got it next, then I got it. It was in good shape when I got it, despite my brother having owned it (not a car person) and I recall putting many trouble-free miles on it. Mine had the 2000cc inline OHC 4 banger which was only used for a couple of years. A good engine that was tough to kill. And yes, it was one covered by the infamous exploding gas tank recall Dan --- On Sun, 12/14/08, E M pokieba...@gmail.com wrote: From: E M pokieba...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?

Was this the one with the totally glass hatch with the handle bolted to the window to lift it? Our '72 Wagon had the 2.0 SOHC engine in it also, but all of the others had the newer 2.3L SOHC.

Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?
No, there was a metal frame to the lift gate with a large window in it. I think it was only made for a short time, as there were issues with identifying the proper model year on it a couple of times. That's why I said it was a 71-1/2. I really wanted one of the panel wagons but could never find one in decent shape.

The Twheel spokes are polyurethane, as are some of the better quality suspension bushings and shock mounts. The PU sway bar link bushings I put on Mr Taurus six years ago are holding up just fine, and it gets cold in Michigan. I'm sure the PU does get stiffer in winter and softer in summer though.

[MBZ] How about a W-210 gasser?
Can't find much about this in my archives, maybe someone can tell me... A friend is considering a 1999 E-320 for his kids. It has 160k mi on it and he expects to get it for a good price. It looks good and has airbags and safety features all over the place. I looked it over and didn't see any rust around the front suspension. But that is the only issue I know about for the W-210. How about the M112 engine? Are they sound? Are there any issues I should look for or warn him about? Thanks, Ned Kleinhenz '95 E300Dx2 '85 300D '80 300TD
