I've searched on here and it is, but there is a difference, I think it's the titanium additive.

So I've had it in my new engine for about 6 months. Usage is down, but go check out a thread I just started, I'm not sure how to go forward from here. I hate to have to strain the oil before putting it in the engine, but that maybe the only option to get this dirt out.

UOA from the last change

I buy my oil from a local distributor, this hasn't been an issue yet. But today I pumped 5 gallons of 15w40 fleet supreme into my series 60 and found particles at the bottom of the bucket. I called my rep right away, he said it happens on buckets that have been sitting and it's ok, but I...

Watch for a thread I'm about to start.

It was changed at 103k miles after the lab suggested to change it.

I'm not sure. I think the unit time is Miles on the vehicle and lube is miles on the oil. It's not mine as stated so I'm not here to debate intervals. Just figure out the elevated oxidation levels.

This is NOT my engine or sample.. I'd like feedback on this. The engine is running the OPS bypass filter system, she'll rotella T6 and T4..I know a lot of details are missing. My question is the elevated oxidation levels. Is that bad?

I'm good with the oil I use. They're only doing the rods, not building the engine.

There is no warranty, it was more of a suggestion. They aren't building my engine, only refurbishing connecting rods, I'm building it. And being down a quart could go fairly quick in a 10 gallon system on a new engine. Shouldn't buy never know. David @High Performance Lubricants has been a big...

I said that already. I know.

They aren't building the engine, just refurbishing the rods, he made this suggestion in chat yesterday. I just never knew. The engine is an 04 build date, I'm assuming it came with conventional 15w40 from the factory, either chevron or mobile. This blend is super slick also, is that a trait of...

So I'm curious what @High Performance Lubricants would have to say about a heavy duty diesel. Different break in oil? Is it even necessary? Typical first change is 3-5k miles anyways. This one will be a little different just cause I filled the oilpan with antifreeze when it came apart.

I will read that while I'm sitting here

Can you elaborate? Was this a thing of the past? Or does it carry more references in race engines? Or car engines? Or any other type of engine?

I was recently at a machine shop, the owner mentioned this to me and I've never heard of it. My new engine grenaded after 13K miles, no fault of anyone but myself and surely not the oil. Anyways, this new engine will be all new internals again. But when I built the last one I put 15w40 Guardol...

Got this from phillips 66. Here’s a recap of what we discussed on the phone: Super-D XA/Guardol ECT uses a high level of zinc, phosphorous, and liquid titanium as anti-wear additives. The liquid titanium is our standout component because it is a unique development of ours and promotes...

Nothing huh. 🤔

I understand it's the anti wear additive in kendall and I think castrol. There is information all over this forum about it. But little in reference to HDEO

The dealers sell their oil, which is rebottled mobile delvac. But the engines come from the factory with a combination of mobile and Chevron, it was dependant on who's oil met what ratings at the time of manufacturing I understand. And I haven't researched the right oil rating yet, the engine is...
