Re: [MBZ] Oil

My neighbor puts 10W30 in his 2001 Cummins in the summer, 15W40 in the winter. He's pretty set in his ways at 70y/o, and since it's purring along at 160K with no leaks or funny noises, I'm not saying anything. Kevin in Hillsboro, Oregon ___ http://www.ok

We went all through this maybe 6 months ago. 15w50 was CF rated, Mobil says that since CF is an obsolete cert they won't put it on bottles anymore. Strange because Royal Purple, Amsoil and Redline all do. Anyway they claim the formula hasn't changed but I haven't done any analysis with it so I c
