It's always at my local Wally for that price and they also sell damaged Full Synthetic 12 quart boxes for 33.99. But the bag inside is never damaged & it's ever only the 10w30 flavorI have 2 cars, and several OPE that could use that. Is that a regular stocked item at Wally or was it a clearance item
Are those 2stroke deisel using the oil blended into their gas? Or do these 2 stroke deisels have oil sump like a regular 4 cycle engine?CF-2 is for 2 stroke diesels, I'd leave it for that application, there's plenty of better choices for passenger car engines. I'd run 10W30 or 15W40 CK-4 in a passenger car over CF-2 any day.
It's like a regular 4 stroke engine, but the detroit 2 stroke burn a lot of oil, I'm not exactly sure why, I don't know a whole hell of a lot about 2 stroke diesels, but I know enough about them to know that CF-2 oil is lower ash and may have lower amouts of additives compared to 4 stroke oil because they burn so much oil that standard diesel oil which back when CF-2 was created was likely 1.5-2% ash would really create nasty combustion chamber and exhaust valve deposits.Are those 2stroke deisel using the oil blended into their gas?

Yeah back in the old days of high sulphur fuel, a regular diesel oil would be very high sulphated-ash, like you said 1.5% SA would be normal. The 2 stroke diesels ran about half that, say 0.7% SA. Just from reading around, I'm no expert here.It's like a regular 4 stroke engine, but the detroit 2 stroke burn a lot of oil, I'm not exactly sure why, I don't know a whole hell of a lot about 2 stroke diesels, but I know enough about them to know that CF-2 oil is lower ash and may have lower amouts of additives compared to 4 stroke oil because they burn so much oil that standard diesel oil which back when CF-2 was created was likely 1.5-2% ash would really create nasty combustion chamber and exhaust valve deposits.
Yeah but modern C3 oils have had a lot more research put into them and have more expensive additive packages than would be economical to use in an oil intended to be sold for under $10/gal for use in a detroit oil burner.Yeah back in the old days of high sulphur fuel, a regular diesel oil would be very high sulphated-ash, like you said 1.5% SA would be normal.

However this "low" 0.7% ash, has now become normal with many PCMO Euro C3 oils being at roughly the same level.
Yes, very true. I'm more just saying that low ash of yesterday is close to typical ash levels of today.Yeah but modern C3 oils have had a lot more research put into them and have more expensive additive packages than would be economical to use in an oil intended to be sold for under $10/gal for use in a detroit oil burner.
So you know I'm using a API SG/CD monograde SAE 30 myself in my car right now, just to give it a go. The car is a 2006 port injected 4-cylinder GM.Very interesting. Thank you everybody
