I mostly used M1 15w-50 in that car because it is not as cold here so 15 worked fine for cold starts & since most of the 150k miles were road/commuting miles so i used the 50. . A few times when i could find it i used the M1 turbo truck 5w-40. Dwight Giles Jr. Wickford RI On Fri, Feb 26, 2021,

One thing to remember is that the 60x engines all have flat tappets (actually the bucket, but same issue), and that modern automotive systems DO NOT have flat tappets, they are almost universally roller tappets. As a result, the zinc phosphates and zinc triphenylphosphates that provide start up

I was going to joke about using 5w40 where it gets real cold but you've had real cold this year. How did it work out? I did use M1 15w50 a lot back when I had a 240D, it seemed to do okay but when temps got around 0F the 5w40 really helped. I've just started putting Rotella T6 into the ASV as ma
