Yeah thats a little scary

Interesting. Im running it now. Will send out to blackstone with tbn. Report back in 4k to 5k miles.

Reviving old threads is the new fad you didnt hear?

I run 15w50 in my benz calls for 0w40 and run 5w40 in the 2.7 eco boost ford edge

Lmao. Naw man. Throw some 10w60 in that shi*

This is why warming up the engine while driving and driving it easy at first is imperative for chain wear

This could why with thicker grade oil I dont hear chain at start up. Because of this theory. I have a 2014 mercedes benz cls 550 and it calls for 0w40. At start up i hear chatter or so i think. It could be direct injection injectors being chattery too. I switched to 15w50 and it runs great on...

I agree. Im doing a UOA on the 15w50 Napa(Valvoline) when i drain here soon. See how it looks. I had the euro 5w40 in the ford eco 2.7tt this time around. I know euro spec oils have different formulations and use better base oils typically.

I know. There is no water. I was joking. I dont need 0w. I live in Texas

Going to do bmw 335 diesel 3.0, ford eco boost 2.7 tt, and a 4.7 tt v8 benz. I have run diesel oils in my gas cars before with very good results before. This oil is SN rated so gas engines is fine. I was an avid user of Valvoline premium blue 5w40 in these cars for years. Just seeing if...

Thats weird. I buy this oil online no issues. Got 16 quarts for $60 bucks shipped free to door. Sometimes you gotta go in person

Im going to use Blackstone and get tbn done on it. Ill report back when i drive 4 to 5k miles on this oil.

Its an important number.

Where was the TBN?

I personally only run 15w50 in my Mercedes benz 4.7 tt that calls for 0w40. It runs so much smoother and quieter than 0w40 water oil. I like oils rated for diesel/gas than solely gas. A lot of the the turbo gas guys run 5w40 t6 or Valvoline premium blue. Anyways. I have 4 gallons of 15w40...

If all else fails with rear main. Throw 1 quart of 20w50 in it vr1 or mobil 15w50. Yeh the high mileage stuff helps seals for sure. But its a bandaid. Id say thicker is better. In an older jeep like that hell id run straight 15w50 mobil. Has similar zinc levels and thicker so that it wont...

1333 zinc or something of that nature its at the very beginning of this thread bro. The voa is there

It is higher ish in zinc and phos so it could help that noise. I would keep running it. The older engines needed more zinc. This is one of the highest zinc numbers ive seen and honestly why I use diesel oils even in my gas cars. As long as they are SN rated too. Which this is.

This is a 15w50 mobil 1 voa. Comparable ish besides those extras.

Lead , tin and aluminum? Yeah i understand
