I know you guys hate paying the high cost for home delivery of Amsoil
but talk to a few your local dealers and see if they have group buying
power and are willing to pass the savings of shipping on to you. Our
group here does this and we charge far less than Amsoil. But of course
we are not to far away from the Vegas whse. and one of us makes group
run.
Just a thought.
If I knew enough fo you guys in my area I would keep this stuff in
stock by the cases and gallons and pass the savings on, yeah I hate
sitting on stock that doesn't move, more than a couple of months and I
get worried.
Take care all

At one point I checked the label on a bottle of Mobil 1 10w30 I was putting in

It doesn't meet Mercedes diesel rating but its a capable diesel oil anyway.
I'd run the 5w30 for 3,000 miles and then change it out with 15w50 or whatever
I could get.
This is why Johnny B went to Amsoil...

Don't rush to drain it out!!
What you put in (m-1 T&SUV 5W-30) suspends soot just fine (no problem
up
to about 2%). It's just a bit too "thin" for an "antique" diesel engine
(so you'll burn it a bit faster) and it isn't diesel rated because it
doesn't have as aggressive an additive package for neutralizing
combustion by-products (but you'll change the oil because of soot load
LONG before acid by-products are any problem - unless you're using
off-road #2 with 5000 ppm sulfur).
