Does this look like a problem to you guys? This is an old quart I found in friends shop and I transfered it to a larger jug and did not pour into the engine. I did not see any Sludge transfer during the pour. I cracked the seal when spinning cap off, but these bottles do not have a foil seal on...

No, this was in store

I stopped by my local AA for some filters and the register would scan my Speedperks barcode from phone app, but would NOT allow the discount. Code says "Unknown". Any one else have this problem? Manager could not override anything. I did notice a few clearance items, Motorcycle oils 10w-40...

2015 Ram 2500 6.7l Cummins 212K miles. Out: Carquest 15w-40 Mopar 285 Filter. (13k miles) In: Rotella T4 15w-40 Mopar 285 Filter.

I'm running at or near WOT for several minutes at a time along with plenty of idling. I once checked oil shortly after a run and did not see any "Foam" on dipstick. I have noticed oil slowly rising up dipstick due to fuel dilution, so I change oil every 50 hrs or so. Oil filter every other oil...

Delo 15w-40 for my Merc 60hp.

Yes, I have a Ford with lugs that are “Chrome Capped“ or something… the are swelling and I’m trying to find replacements that are just 1 piece solid if anyone knows? 2015 Edge.

I Ran a Mercury EFI 60 4 stroke outboard on Delo Sde 15w-40 for around 50 Hours (several continuous runs at full throttle) and no problems so far other than some fuel dilution as expected on most outboards Noted from analysis. I would change oil after 50 hours and leave filter for 100 Hours.

Please note that I did not indicate the grade/weight of oil on the report; It appears that Blackstone used an estimated flash point base to formulate fuel dilution number.

I’ll try a Napa/ Wix test next time.. Had some Blackstone kits on hand that made it convenient to collect this sample. I do prefer the Format & Averages shown on Blackstone Report over other reports.

How about a localizer?

Most outboards suffer from fuel dilution especially during the first 200 hrs. I’ve seen new Yamaha‘s have oil climbing above dipstick full mark due to crankcase fuel. Excess idling and/ or slow break-in seem to be the likely cause. Additionally, these motors run cooler (around 140*F) making it...

Sorry, Had to redo the attachment.. estimated time on engine is 70 hrs and oil was used for around 30hrs / 2 months; Mostly running at around 4000-5000 rpm with some slow idle mixed in. Engine is a 2011 and sat for several years before I picked her up. Oil is Delo SDE 15w-40 conventional.

Oil was Delo 15w-40 with a Quicksilver oil filter.
