Your year does not have piston squirters so use regular delo or delvac...my year has squirters so I use 10w30...everything is smoother on the 10w30 but my oil pressure can get low at idle at high temps. But on mine it is an aftermarket HV oil pump so it may have nothing to do with the lighter oil.

Look on this site for the reports of a hemi with 5w20 and MMO...consistent great UOAs...with the HEMI thicker may not be better.

So if it is only silicone and water then silicone must be the secret to what I am seeing with no algae.

The best is Listerine the good ole fashion amber colored taste awful stuff. Just mix it nine to one with the pump spray off, the sportsman stuff is high in deet . Here on the gulf coast we have a kind of biting midge sometimes called no-see-ums or punkies that are awful only mixing in the...

What MSDS are you quoting? The one I see says 50% water and up to 50% silicone.

I don't think what I am doing is clear. I use a flexible hose to put it any length down the dip stick tube including way deep down, very little oil escapes the kind of vehicles I have. Of course if you have an odd shaped pan or are not careful you will do a bad job removing the old oil. This is...

The lowest cost ultimate road trip vehicle we went with was full sized vans. All of my boys are over 6 feet and even the aerostar and astro were just too tight for the legs and size 12 feet. I could coax 17 mpg all day in small blocks with the factory bench seats then I built a platform for the...

USAF Retired after 21 years...thanks for doing this!

So do you all think the silicone is the cause of what I am seeing so all I need to find is a silicone based sealer then right? Once I do find it should I mix in something for uv too?

Thanks for your story...I sm just looking for a way to control algea and sure it would be nice to keep that light grey just power washed look too!

Thanks I will review what you did...this new Delvac is so smooth in the cummins 12v and also the old mercedes I will find it hard to go back to rotella

Man I wish I could find a local source for 10w30 Delvac! The only 10w30 for HDEO is Rotello if I "cut it" with MMO or just a little 5w20 that would work but @$11 delvac 15w40 is a great value

So you are saying that when you blend to a CsT target that that CsT will change over time without introducing any more oil?

I maintain like 7 vehicles and about 6 other engines...I am looking to have a simple solution using some great experiances I have had with delvac but realizing that it is just too thick for all the different engines hense the mobil clean..same family (EM) but want the best choice for blending...

Thats the beauty of it, I just suck it up the dipstick tube in any amount I want to

One vehicle is the worst...it is a 6.5 diesel and it loves lighter weight oil

I just did not know that i guess the silicone would have such a dramatic effect. We have had so much rain and it still looks great...just odd to me... What would be the cheapest silicone I may find?

Ok Bobbers, so the idea of cost per mile came up on a thread about the chevy volt. It was reported that at the cost per recharge for a 40 mile range at my local electric rate will cost .90c per 40 miles or .014c per mile. At the reported 250 MPG on gas at the current rate of $3.5 per gallon we...
