TBN of the Amsoil 5W-30 product seems low compared to the Mobil Delvac 1 5W-30 and both products are claiming the same WSS-M2C214-B1. Seems Mobil is formulating as a full-SAPS oil and Amsoil is formulating a Mid-SAPS oil. Different viscosities as well.

Do these smaller diesel engines spec a different oil than a CK-4.

Not sure we need even more flavors of oil.

Yes they do.

This has been a long time coming and I am glad it is finally here. I just want to know if I can use it in my 0w20 Subaru engines.

Would my F-150's 4.2 V6 benefit any at all if I were to run the 5W30 in it (159K miles)?

Why would you need to ask?

I found this paragraph in the article;
AMSOIL's press release says that neither oil is suitable for use in applications that require an API CK-4 or prior specification.

Well, Amsoil is supposed to be one of the best oils made. And, I see a lot of members using diesel oil in their engines........

It seems you answered your question.

Perfect to squeeze out .5 mpg at the expense of the longevity of your expensive diesel engine! Thanks GM!
