Son showed me a document that specifies 229.51 oil for it. He put Valvoline synth Diesel, etc., in it. I asked him, "What happened to Mobil 1?" 'Said he couldn't find it; went to stealer for oil and filter; guy at stealer desk told 'im "they've" switched to Valvoline. I told 'im to let get filters from Rusty, & we'll look for appropriate Mobil 1. I get MY Mobil 1 at Wally's, BTW.
