M1 5w40 "Turbo Diesel Truck" has been so named for at least 4 years... The 5w40
weight has been around much longer than that but under the other name as noted
in my other message.

Hi Dwight -
You wrote <<thought you were the oil guy :-) >>
I kinda saw that coming! But I learned long ago there's always someone who
knows more than I do - which is true for anyone IMO.
Where are you located? (I know, I could look it up, but where's the fun it
that?)
I guess the Richmond Va area rec'd the new formulations first?
I need to check the M1 site to see what they say.
Rich mentioned a thread about oil recently - I missed it. It's been a tough
summer. I've been preoccupied - the knee I had replaced last June is
failing - so mobility is harder at the time I need to be up and around -
plus, I'm doing some new stuff work wise which takes a lot of time.
I'll either get a new knee next month or a spacer (Yuck - that's a bad
option) which will be needed if infection is found during the surgery.
Pre-surgery tests have been negative, but the doc is very cautious. If the
spacer is used, it'll be in for 2-3 months and I won't be able to put weight
on it. Fun, Huh?
I'll be looking for that sample --
;-)
