Eneos 0W50 Motor Oil

Anyone familiar with this oil. I'm thinking of putting it into my 6.9

OIL

The 6,9 is not built for synthetic motor oil and it can do real damage. I hunted a rumbling sound in a 6,3 engine once and the only cure was changing the oil. I used this: http://www.kroon-oil.com/en/products/catalogue/seg_aut/krmo/62/automotive/kroon-oil-motoroils/bi-turbo-15w40/

Good oil if you can get it but not sure it would be so great for a motor of that vintage.

IMHO a diesel oil with a lot of zddp would probably be better.

Most oils like that rely on the additive package too much to allow for any real benefit.

Better off with a conventional oil like 10W-40
