    Went to check my oil on my 2002 Duramax yesterday. When I pulled out dipstick,the guage attached to wire wasn't there. I guess it fell into pan? Problem or not? Is it magnetic at all as I have heavy duty oil drain plug in pan? If not magnetic will it just fall to bottom of pan and rest...

    First oil analysis in 2007 Mercedes Benz ML320CDI

    The TBN limit for CJ-4 is 8-9. I have been running Series 30005w-30 in both my 2002 Duramax with Bypass and the oil in my 2003 Jetta. How can they keep it the same with sulphur levels dropping so much in light of extended drain intervals?
