I'm going to stick with Delvac

[Chris142]

I've tried a bunch of oils in my F250. These were known to use some oil. Out of all the brands I have tried the Delvac 1300 15w40 slows consumption the most. Strangly ST comes in 2nd.

I could not keep Delo,Rotella and Castrol in it.

Wish I had the pleasure of using a nice thick HDEO all season... dang weather...

Is there a high mileage HDEO?

Nope

But if you're looking for a hm variant due to leaks I suggest you try liqui-moly motor oil saver.

Honestly, it's worth a look at the back of the bottle to see if the MaxLife 10w-40 meets the appropriate diesel spec for the old diesel. It wouldn't be appropriate for a newer diesel, but it might be CF.

If MaxLife 10w40 is CF rated, it may be OK in an '87 F250 diesel. Early 6.9 and 7.3's were IDI engines, and CF covers those types of engines built until 1995, when CG4 took over. As a matter of fact, CC was the API diesel spec that was in effect in 1987, so CF is better than what the engine required when new.

Also, MaxLife is one of the oils that I'd trust, too, to actually still be CF compatible if they advertised it as such.
