Sounds cool, I am a current loyal Rotella-T Dino user.... at 2,500 mile intervals, I've become really paranoid....oh well.

Ive been hating convetional (delo 400) oil just to much of a hassle with more oil change intervals. Next oil change (which is right around the corner) im putting in Elf 5w40, designed for my moms passat TDI but i think it would work just as good in an older merc diesel.

I've used Delo for the last six years in my diesels - excellent oil.

advanced oil
Interesting link, even from the manufacturer. But, improved oils in all their various qualities is a great thing. I do think new oils that resist thermal breakdown and so call for a longer time/distance between changes is a bit problematic. One of our member's who says "change oil hot...change oil often" is the edict to follow, no matter how great the soot suspension or resistance to thermal breakdown.
