Well i am a hard core believer in MI after 18 years of using it in OM 616, 617, 602 & m272 engines. In the days when Larry was doing oil testing the results were amazing- even @ 12k miles. Also how clean the engine was when we did a head gasket job on tje infamous new england 79 240D. My dad used to say that good oil was cheap insurance so no other brand for me. YMMV
