The "coastal" stuff is certified diesel oil 15w40.....and its about $10 a gallon....since we're running it less than an hour....it shouldn't matter.  |
I just got a 1976 240D the oil was black just my other cars. I drained the engine oil and oil cooler over night to get everything out. I put in Valvoline’s Premium Blue diesel 15w/40. Several days later the oil is still clear.
