I hope your '79 240D has the Fast Glow plug kit - you probably wouldn't need
to double cycle it - you'll love it if you don't already have it! Rusty has
them for less than $100 last I checked -
It made a huge difference in my 78!

Yes, your indy is nuts. The 5W-40 weight is basically identical to Delvac-1, arguable the best diesel synthetic on the market, period. However, 15W-50 is not too thick, and if that makes you both happier, it would be a fine second choice. There is also a new 10W-40 variety that might be a good compromise. I'm waiting to see which if these three, if ANY, finally appear at Wal-Mart Kaleb - sheesh, where the hell have you BEEN? We've had a number of threads on the TS 5W-30 topic in the past 2 weeks.

I'm still looking. For everyone else, yeah, Delvac-1 would be preferable, the deterrent there is cost, and it can be hard to find locally. Yeah, I know you can buy it via the internet, but with SH costs it ends up being close to $30 per gallon (or $37.50 for 5 quarts, to compare to the Wal-Mart jugs).

I do. The Shell stuff is a cheap Group III base stock. It's better than dino oil, but nowhere near as good as Mobil-1 or Amsoil (which are Group IV/V base stocks).

Re: [MBZ] MY CAR (and what is going on with Mobil 1)
I don't remember what year your car is but in my '83 240D I used 0w40, 5w40 and 15w50. The BIG difference was that 0w40 leaked out way worse. The 15w50 still leaks out but not as bad. At ~10F recently it seems the car starts maybe a little harder with 15w50 than it did with 5w40 but thats hard to quantify. I could detect NO difference between 0w40 and 5w40. My '85 190D starts just fine with 15w50. No matter what you gotta figure that the 15w50 will be alot thinner than dino 15w40 would be at a similar temp. At anything under freezing 15w40 dino oil becomes honey real quick. -Curt Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2006 17:29:40 -0800 (PST) From: Christopher McCann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] MY CAR (and what is going on with Mobil 1) To: Mercedes Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 My Indy (who uses all M1 products) INSISTS that TSUV/delvac 1/turbo diesel truck is too thin for my car in MO, even in winter since it does not get THAT cold.

In fact I don't have one in stock either. That's how nice I am to my engines. I dare them not to start and run. Johnny B.

Re: [MBZ] MY CAR (and what is going on with Mobil 1)
Similar to my thinking when I hear the news report bitterly cold for Boston where it'll be 20. Its always at least 10 degrees colder where I live 60 miles west. For me bitterly cold starts at 0F. -Curt Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2006 01:31:27 -0500 From: John Berryman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] MY CAR (and what is going on with Mobil 1) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mercedes Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed On Mar 2, 2006, at 10:13 PM, Tom Hargrave wrote: I used to start my 1977 300D without a heater. My record is 14F above freezing with conventional 15W40 diesel oil. My secret? I used to keep a battery charger on the battery. If choosing between the two, a warm battery is more valuable than a warm block. The glow plugs will take the same hit from the battery regardless and extreme cold saps most of your battery's energy. Thanks, Bring your charger and dino oil up here where you can really give it a run for your money. 14F, childs play!! That's about where I switch to long sleeves.

I tried cleaning the linkage and lubricating but it still happened. Idle speed regulator? The motor/valve end gets sticky, or there could be a bad electrical contact in the idle speed regulation system. Bad connections plague older cars. -- Jim
