I remember a thread a few weeks ago regarding a shortage of diesel motor oil.
FYI, I see rotella 15W40 and 5W40 at Home Depot.

OTOH COVID numbers are back to November levels and still falling, yesterday the
US was #5 for new cases with around 1/5 of our all time high.
This should lead to increased staffing at places like ports and for trucking
which ought to help get things moving again.

2% was the generally accepted soot limit back in the CG-4 days.
Semis and other trucks/engine combinations are engineered differently than
cars.
The new pick up truck diesels take about 2-1/2 gallons. The older ones
were closer to 3 gallons. My Cummins B5.9's were designed to run 300,000
miles
Exactly - each driver/engine is going to be different - you have to analyze
the oil to see what will work for you. There are no blanket rules.

Not trolling

Taking the bait --
The late Doctor Booth claimed greatly extended timing chain life with M1,
determined by measuring the reduced chain stretch. I would not recommend
extending the change interval without oil analysis to quantify the
condition of the oil. With analysis, I determined that at 12,000 m

Oils should have their MB approval number on the bottle or at least on

Personally I favour 15w40 oil changed at 10k kmhs. Modern mineral oils
are a lot better than they used to be and M1 is a waste of money in an
