    Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 0W40 CK-4 VOA

    This is supposed to be the "best" of the Delvac 1 lineup, definitely the most expensive. I am a little surprised at the lack of Boron, Moly, and Magnesium. Lower than I would like on phosphorus considering it's also on Ford's approved list. Supposed to be 11 TBN, Blackstone says~7. Did they run...

    Mobil 1 TDT + MOS2; 10k miles; 7.3L Powerstroke

    A little over 10,000 on this sample. Anytime the numbers picked up a bit was when this truck was worked hard for that interval. Went from Mobil devlac 15-40 to mobil 1 TDT at 310,000 miles to get easier starting esp. in winter. This truck has a very strong running engine and, other than some...
