- and I sure as heck would never use 0W-20 (ANYTHING) for 'extreme' driving conditions! - Quite the opposite!

Agree 100% - meets toughest specs around, and 0W as a consideration for Canada climate. - A thick 30-grade more than a '40 grade'.

Why wouldn't the station owner just temporarily 'T' the line from the regular line to the premium line at the pump rather than involve others and increase risk for himself?

From the original picture you posted it shows 0W-30 or 5W-30 as acceptable grades (no mention of 0W-20). Unless that picture is from somewhere else than the manual?

What's wrong with Vanilla Mobil 1 5W-30? It's A5/B5...its a really common spec....

<250°F is but a funny joke for a Euro-spec oil.....I see 230°F regularly in my Mercedes in normal summer driving.

Dont overthink it....it's nothing but a consumer grade engine, it is not designed for any extended lifespan.

most 20W-50 is gasoline engine oil - the diesel spec 15W-40 is almost always more fortified with additives.

I wouldn't I would use Superlube Silicone grease for plastic gears, or plastic anything needing lube.

I have bought 5 NOCO chargers(1A, 2A, 5A) , 2 off them have already failed.....I think they do a good job while they work, but not impressed with the longevity at all. Wont buy anymore.

I would up to at least 5W-30 if towing, probably Mobil 1 0W-40 which is a thin 40 grade. Or go with a 15W-40 if towing often and climate allows, which MS certainly does.

Good call - you are correct! Port injected should not have that concern.

Fuel dilution is the reason I don't go over 5K on my OCI in my Mazda 2.5L Skyactiv.

A proper stump grinder takes a lot of HP - all of it. Definitely not worth trying to build. Unless you already have a 40+hp coming out of something, even then.....just rent or hire.

27K with - but how many hours - without an oil change - yeah - that's what will happen on almost any consumer diesel engine.

I think Meguairs has the best balance of price & quality....especially in bulk/gallon sizes

I'd run Mobil 1 15W-50 with an HTHS of 4.5 and not even worry about LL approvals.....

Fram Ultra XG7317 for 2 intervals of 5K, 0W-20 winter and 5W-30 summer

biggest advantage imho is the relatively high HTHS... Mobil 1 10W-30HM HTHS is 3.5

229.51 being a neutered spec of 229.5
