I think the Newbie has a good idea. It would certainly help to keep ME out of trouble, if that's possible.

N8Scafe,

I hope you take no offense at my calling you a Newbie, it's all in fun. Welcome to the board.

Have a great day,
Change oil ho.... Never mind

I don't think they are popular.. I think people are compelled to state their opinion to keep others from thinking that what has already been posted is the gospel......
The real problem is that so much of it is pure speculation. Very few really have comparisons which would hold up in scientific communities ( read anecdotal ).... so I just stick with what the MB factory recommends... Delo 400.

I am not gona get involved but if I was too..... I would say "Amsoil Rocks", couldnt help it

Yes I know I'm a newbie, but not one looking for oil advice at least...

Oh, and for the record, all I've ever put in mine is Delo 400.
