A Porsche, or any gas pot, under turbo boost does not come close to the
compression ratio of a oil burner. Bearing material and loads are two
different worlds. Oil viscosity of "0" would make me nervous with a 22:!
ratio.

I think you mean $24/gal ($6.00/qt) versus the $3.98/qt in the 5 qt jugs.

M-1 oils, AFAIK. I use it in my 300E and E500 (and the Ford cargo van
too).

I'm leary of using 0 weight oil in a diesel as I don't think it
provides enough film strength to protect the crankpin bearings on cold
running. I stick with 5W-40 M1 truck and SUV oil in the winter and M1
15W-50 in the summer. Delvac 1, if you can find it, is better than the
15W50 as it is fo

Lessee now, when it's cold and "thin" and thus provides startup lubrication
sooner, that's no good. But when it's hot and acting like 40 weight it's
providing better fuel economy. That's your theory, right?
