I felt the same way when I put M1 Euro 0w-40 in my Ranger.

When I was a young punk in the 60's there was three dragsters in my neighborhood. One, the famous "Guzzler", was owned by a friend of mine's dad. One day he brought home three clapped out Chrysler Imperial Hemi engines from the junk yard. It was our job to completely strip them down to the bare...

Not...

Thanks for the graph! The Viscosity Index would be a killer for me.

Right. Diesel engines don't run the insane RPM's that gas engines do.

What, no roll bar?

Reminded me of my young years in the 60's cleaning and re-oiling oil bath air filters on larger gas trucks. Those drive wheels wouldn't go far in an Illinois farm field.

:(

I have no clue but when I pulled the plugs for inspection (on V6) one bank looked perfect and the other bank the center electrode was completely gone (two different vehicles). I, also, don't know but I think the waste spark bank was the culprit. When Ford came out with the 3.0l engine they used...

Rare Earth metal spark plugs DO NOT work in waste spark systems (ask me how I know). Use only copper or dual platinum copper plugs. Iridium plugs lasted only six months in my waste spark ignition vehicles.

Just be careful of the 100c cst test of the oil you are considering. About 20 years ago SAE lowered that figure for 75w-90 into 75w-80 territory for fuel economy which inspired some oil makers to produce 75w-110. So see what your manufacturers recommends for 100c cst. During the last drain/fill...

No! When I was deployed to the desert, all the locals wore white. When I returned I developed melanoma. I researched which color fabric rejected UV rays and it was white.

Is your Element a diesel? Diesel oil in a gas burning engine is a no no.

Like other have said, M1 Euro 0w-40. M1 ESP 0w-30 (or 5w-30) would be another good choice. A later Mopar TSB changed the grade recommendation for your engine from 10w-30 to 5w-30.

I like the oil used on the 1/2024 run mo better. Nice report.

TDC to do both valves. You can get the B&S PDF manual online for the clearances. If not, .005" for intake and exhaust should suffice.

I used to get it at WM. About a year ago they dropped it from the store shelves. Still could be ordered on-line). Next time I need xw-40 (Oct 2024) I moved to M1 0w-40.

That's the older version of QS 5w-40. When it went to API SP the dropped the UD part.

Wish I was 51 again...

Moly is super stuff and should be used on everything that needs grease.
