High aluminum could be aluminum oxide (rust) from high humidity and/or water vapour in the block. I had this on a UOA from a duramax that was daily driven over a winter with months of cold starts down to minus 40. I blamed it on condensation in the engine as high Al never showed up again.

Up date; My son sent me a photo of the dipstick at 7,000 kms since the 5w40 Delo went in. It’s still above the add line. By now he would have added 5L of 5w20. No wonder oil companies love thin oils, it doubles their sales. What is the P & Zn of Delo 5w40? The coincidence of the alternator...

Cadillac xt6 lease returns at half the price of a new one, or Chevrolet Blazer and 23 & older Acadia with 3 row seats and the 3.6L LGX.

With a sign on the fence post fafo. Keep those Powder River coal trains running. If Alberta becomes the 51st state, I’m moving there.

Rolled out in 2014, Delo SD 15w30 was advertised as a fuel economy option for urban delivery trucks that started and stopped all day long and never reached operating temperature. Featured in monthly trucker’s publications and TV advertisements with class 8 tractors having a tug of war on a...

XW40 trumps XW30.

XW30 trumps XW20.

I thought that the replacement for the 0W20 crap is M1 0W40 FS, not the Dexos R Corvette approved 0W40. As I mentioned before, the furthest I’ve driven with 0W20 is home from the dealership.

Most Diesel synthetic engine oils are 5W40, 0W40, 0W30 or 5W30. CK-4 synthetic 15w40 and 10W30s are starting to become more common. Back in the day Delvac 15W50 was a thing. I have a couple of pails of Duron 10w40, a grade more common in Europe to use up one of these years.

For anyone who believes that, I have a bridge in Crimea for sale.

I poked around Walmart and found Pennzoil Snowmobile Premium Plus, 5L for $59.97. It meets EGD/FD and is likely the old green bottle Shell Ultra Synthetic that’s discontinued. As near as I could tell, the Shell Ultra was the same product whether it had a PWC or snowmobile on the label.

I use the same THF that meets J20C or both C&D in power steering, transfer cases and the hydraulic fluid in JD lawn tractors.

In a democracy you get what you vote for.

The short answer is let the consumer decide what is best for their needs, not the government.

My daughter drives a L5P 3500 Duramax with big tires to compensate.

Backpfeifengesicht. Sorry, no English translation.

Putting 0W40 in a 0w20 engine never gets old. Ask anyone that owns a 6.2L GM.

Mobil FS 0W40 makes more sense to me. The furthest I’ve driven on 0W20 is home from the dealership.

What did you find? Canadian Tire and Walmart used to sell Shell Ultra Synthetic in the green bottles, both in snowmobile and PWCs on the labels, but I think they are discontinued.
