I think DrB answered it last week. 15W-50 does not have the soot carrying
and acid neutralizing capacity of heavy duty diesel truck oil, but it
far exceeds the needs of an OM603, and it mixes just fine with the diesel
truck rated 5w40, so go ahead and buy three qts of it. I've got a couple
of 5 qt
I have 5 qts of M-1 Truck and SUV 5w-40 and I want to get another 3 qts to
mix with it for the next oil change.
What I found was M-1 15-50, now it is a CF rating but NOWHERE on the bottle
does it say ANYTHING about being a Diesel. Now I know a CF rating is a
Diesel rating but why dont they say
Walt,
did you hit Schucks? the august calendar coupon is for M1 @ $3.99.
Yes, as a matter of fact I did. THREE of them. NONE had M-1 Diesel oil.
They were recommending another oil for Diesel because of this.
My original question was (more or less) is M-1 15-50 an approved
Diesel
* Id like to know where you guys are shopping. Here in Everett, WA (30
miles North of Seattle) Diesel is $3.49-3.59

Ever notice when a barrel of oil goes up the price at the pump goes up that
same day, BUT, when the price goes down, it takes a month for the decrease
to take effect at the pump?

*I have a NEW sealed 5 qt. Container of Mobile 1 Truck SUV 5W-40 oil.
Now, I either need 3 more quarts for an oil change (I
need 8 qts. total) or
I need to sell, trade, swap, whatever.
If I cant get 3 qts. by the next change Im going back to Delo 400.

I ordered a Mercedes Factory Shop Manual on e-bay. I
figured for $5 (plus $5 for shipping) how could I go wrong?
Well I just got it and anyone who is interested, Forget
it. There is just as much in your owners manual. It really doesnt give
you any info

find M-1 15-50.

Same here. Not even the Auto Stores have the M-1 Diesel oil.
Next change Im going back to Delo 400, at least I know I can get it just
about everywhere, especially Costco.
M-1 is not worth the time and trouble for me and I just go back to 2000-3000
mile oil changes.

Im having trouble finding Mobile 1 Truck and SUV 5-W-40 in the Gal. jugs.
Wal-Mart here just carries 5-W-30 (is this a Diesel oil?).

Au Contraire, Mr. Booher and Mr. Cathey. Diesels are back in aviation.
There are several STCs for Diesels in single engine aircraft (maybe multis
too, but I havent read about it yet), and it looks as if will take off (no
pun intended). Youll be seeing more and more on this in the aviation
*Scratches head* Walt, I agree that oil is cheaper than metal, but if the
