Blackstone VOA (9-30-2011):

Im giving this oil a try as I got a good deal on 16 gallons of it. The previous oil was Rotella T3 with some Rotella TP Top Off (as T3 is generally only available in bulk or at the distributor).

That VOA has Ca and Mg mixed up.

It is Blackstone...

I just started running this in my LX450 and I have no complaints. Was running T6 b4, and they are both great oils. engine seems to be running better at start-up with the Delo/S, but oil pressure is just about the same with either one at operating temps.

Will probably give it a try in my 240D for the fall oil change.

Wish I could run it my 330xi too, that would make things real easy.

I don't like Blackstone, but that's not a mistake. Shell uses a similar Ca/Mg package.

I stand corrected. Didn't know about that Ca->Mg switch in LE oils.
