Ok I have a question for those that have used Synthetic for Diesels in a
Diesel
What kind of intervals were you changing the oil? I am going to purchase a
new 08 Super Duty with Twin Turbos on it. Now these new trucks don't
measure the oil in quarts it's in Gallons these days. It takes like 15 qts
or something stupid like that each oil change. I thought I might run
synthetic in my new truck - comments?
Also poke around on the web you will find a few sites that
have analyzed most racing and other oils for their additive package (After
you get through all the AMS oil ads and such). One thing that I have found
was that Diesel oil has a good deal of additives like the racing oils and is
not much more then regular oils. Also some of the motorcycle oils (Sometimes
V Twin specific) have the high additive contents as well. I have been
running Mobil1 Synthetic Diesel (Delvac) on and off with no issues (It's now
rebranded asTurbo Diesel Truck Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-40 and easily had vs.
the Delvac branding). Also running racing Royal Purple which has a high
additive (read zinc and others). **Caution opinion ahead**, you don't want
to run the synthetics in older non-roller lifer cars. Many people do, but
seems some folks have had issues mainly related to the oils beeing too
slippery to spin the lifter and that may cause other wear issues.
