read something from another forum about these new oils.They are light so they can achieve the mandated fuel ratings.Bluetec diesels came with 5w30 oil.It is causing the failures on the engines.15w40 should be used in summer, or better yet 20w60 motorcycle oil. Motorcycle oil has all the goodies they took out of oils,for polution. Bluetec timing chain failure are do to thin oils,and turbocharger failures.Also I was right in removing my engine covers,and belly pans.The bluetecs are melting gaskets,o rings,and motor mounts because of retained heat.
