Only three negatives I can see: lifter noise may return, can't do extended oil
change intervals, and slight increase in engine wear. Lifter noise is no big
deal, no damage is being done.

Diesel oil is the new conventional oil for older cars.

Its fine for gas engines also. (Its on the label). They will have
reasonable amounts of ZDDP.

Really?
What is the rationale? I am curious about this. What about some of this high
mileage stuff that the major oil companies hype?
I know Rotella very well, as it was a standard for all kinds of stationary
diesels, but we never put it in a gasser.

So for those of you who are doing Mobil1 in a gasser, what kind if change
intervals are you running. 5000? 7500?

Yes, on my 1999 e320 the FSS starts out at 10,000
Your 300E has a M103 or M104? I don't remember if the cutoff is 1992 or

So are you guys saying that an extended interval on the 300E could
realistically be 10k?
I just checked and we have been doing 7500. I thought it was more like 5k, but
I don't do much in the way of work on the car - the youngster does it for the
most part unless it's something major.
