1 Oil for several vehicles?

[panteramatt]

So I have several vehicles and more oil brands and types than I care to have. I was looking at the supertech synthetic diesel 15w40. You guys think this would be ok to run in my 2006 f350 6.0 diesel, 2003 vw tdi, classic bronco and mustang, and small equipment? Id love to buy 1 oil and stick to it. Looks like the additive package would be good for diesels and flat tappet cams.

Mobil 1 5w-40
...or
Shell rotella T6 5w-40

if they don't have to start below 10f sure, Supertech Full Synthetic 15w-40 would work fine in everything. What years are the other fords.

If you must stick to one oil pick an HDEO since you have your 6.0L.

Royal Purple 0w-40 Euro Formula would be a fine choice considering the variety of vehicles and has a wide spectrum of temperature uses, and has pao in it. but by all rights you are best served by using a api rated 5w-30 (Pennzoil Platinum Ultra for a example) for the cars (gas) and a regular diesel engine oil for the truck, perhaps a Shell Rotella 5w-40. for a example, many choices to think over,

My vote for the HDEO goes to Mobil Delvac 1 0W-40 ESP

The TDI calls for 5W-40. So, it needs to be an xW-40 oil.

Kirkland syn blend 15w40 and call it a day. Great price too and comes in a box with 3 one gallon containers

Agreed. If you don’t want to have to worry about temp as much, use full synthetic affordable, yet high quality 5W-40 HDEO, like Rotella T6. It starts safely down to -20F/-30C, but I’d use my engine block heater anytime it’s below freezing anyways.

I’d love to see this classic bronco you speak of. Times running out, but I always wanted to find a mint condition, or bring one back.

T6 is known not to be a great oil for the 6.0

That's pure nonsense. T6 is a good, off the shelf, oil period including using it in the 6.0L.

Here's a list of HDEO's. Yes, that is an HDEO which is required for your 6.0L.

I stumbled across @himemsys thread that combined a bunch of PCMO VOA in one spreadsheet (You can find that sheet linked below). I figured it was such a great idea that I decided to also put one together but with HDEO (Diesel Oil).

I created a line that adds up the Additive Package in the oil. This is displayed with the most additives towards the top, to the least additives at the bottom. This line is labeled "Add Pack". It is not listed in alphabetical order. On the bottom left side of the sheet...

I was told T6 changed their additive package and it is worse. Also some manufacturers of 6.0 injectors won't warranty them if t6 is used thats why I stay away from it. I do use it in my classics though
