you want to depend on the honey thick stuff to get to the bearings in a cold start? -Curt Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2011 04:14:29 + (UTC) From: roger...@comcast.net To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Delvac sale at Oreally? Message-ID: 1352475862.705257.1310789669736.javamail.r

Yeah I always use M1 in the winter. In the warm season I will use M1 if I can get it for a good price, otherwise Delo 400. Allan Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com writes: Better for your car than what? M1? No. You've got to remember there are other places where it gets cold in the winter.

Better for your car than what? M1? No. You've got to remember there are other places where it gets cold in the winter. Living in New England Mobil 1 is your best friend when it comes to cold weather starts, even 15w50 is... But a little of each in the freezer and see which one pours better,

Right, but the Delvac is good for ironheads (615, 616, 617) when you change oil to keep soot levels down. The aluminum heads, I run M1 in. Soot levels are much lower in this generation of engines. I started using dino (not delvac) oil in the older dodge when it started leaking

Allan, You're right. The Delvac is not synthetic, but it is better for your car. My two old 617s thrive on the dino stuff. Never had the heads off or any such work and they just keep purring along. At $9.99 a gallon, this is a great price...and your 617 will thank you :-)) Best Wishes, Roger
