Too many people here live in East Atlanta. No wonder the cars at the pullapart on conley are stripped.

This may be a good time to recommend the AMSOIL 15w-40 Diesel Marine oil. Granted I needed to order it, but even including the shipping is still less per quart than Delvac 1....
It came in via UPS today so I'll be changing the oil soon and may report my findings...

I wasn't very pleased when I used Amsoil in my TDI, only caused problems. It's been almost a year since I switched back to MD1 and haven't had a single issue.
All engines are different though, so my experience was probably unique.

Was it the 15w-40? I could be wrong but I think the TDI's like the thinner oil no?

hahah. I got all the cruise modules...none of em work. I was used to seeing VW's in there at 150k miles. Isnt it funny to see the benz's in there with 280k-350k miles? Built soo much better...

Synth is nice, but if you read the engineering/chem reports on these oils, its the fleet oils that have those "nasty" ( but good for bearing and tappets) metals in them,. not so with standard synth oil.
I'm using the same "mix" I use in my solid cammed 7400 rpm big block Chevelle - diesel fleet oil ( any will do Rotella, Delo, Pennz ) with a few ozs of GM EOS added for extra wear protection. My E300 is a "three season" ride for me. I use synth in my winter truck for cold start protection, which is a main plus. Man, that stuff sure finds any oil leaks you may have though! Trickles become the raging Susquehana with synth! Means it flows in cracks better - its a good thing! |
