Over the years, I've noticed that the Dems think their voters are the dumbest in the country. They may be right. If you go back far enough, you can probably find a baby picture of Trump. We are voting on people today, not people 20 years ago. Best Wishes, Roger Roger Hale Dinnerware

I would add to this that the 3K oil change is more important to a diesel than a gas engine. When I changed my diesels at 3K, I felt good about getting all the dirt and soot out of the engine. So, while it might be marketing, it was worth it to me. And the engines are still going strong after

I'll add my usual different opinion on oil. I've used Mobil 1 Delvac 15x40 in my two old 617s for around 20 years. Neither one has had the head off nor any engine problems. One has around 425,000 miles and the other around 360,000 miles. I tried the other oils at first (Delo, Shell, etc.), but
