I'm debating what to put in the ASV for next winter. Its down to M1 5w40 or Rotella T6 in 5w40. The only reason I'm considering Rotella is cost. If the machine gets 40 hours on it for the season I'd be surprised. I want the thinner oil for easier starting... -Curt On Wednesday, April 18,

Yes when I first put M1 in my 79 240D it would pop right off on a triple glow,at 10F. Not surprised at these results. Used to use the 5w-40. Dwight Giles Jr. Wickford RI On Apr 18, 2018 12:43 AM, "clay monroe via Mercedes" wrote: > Randy, > > YES, M1 is the bomb when it

Randy, YES, M1 is the bomb when it comes to cold temps. I watched a yooo tooob video a few months back where the testing fellow had four liters of oil he had tossed in the deep freeze for 24 hours. They were M1, Royal Purple, the dead sam gunk and another FLAPS oil which escapes me. The

As with anything it depends on what you're after. If you're willing to do more frequent changes then good enough is indeed good enough. I like to extend the change intervals so my Jetta gets M1 5w40 now that Car Quest synthetic isn't available anymore. I was surprised that the Car Quest met the

Not a bad deal, $4.50 / qt for 0w-40. A new Costco is going up just up the road from my place in Mt. Plastic, so all those new apartment residences in south Mt. P can drive by my place to get to the Costco in north Mt. P. We're getting a Home Despot as well, good times. Need a flying car pretty
