They don't get the price under T3 for a 5 gallon bucket or 55 gallon drum, they're not going to sell a lot. Who needs that stinkin' Premium Blue anyway!Looks like it is marketed towards "mining, construction and agriculture" diesel engines which operate different than on-road vehicles. I.E., a farm tractor can be operating for hours under load while plowing. It is not a fuel saving oil and the high levels of zinc and phosphorous would not be catalytic converter friendly.
Brother rolled my old 22R pickup back in the day (I was with him, fortunately after he bought it from me!), it ran for a few seconds upside down. Drug it out, rolled it back over, pulled plugs & blew oil everywhere, cleaned the plugs with carb cleaner, put them back in, topped it off & fogged for mosquitoes! He cut the roof off & made it a convertible after that...
Haha I looked at this photo and immediately smelled burning oil. It was the truck in front of me!After pulling the plugs, shooting out the oil, and continuing on our way....

Correct answer here. There are significant differences in over the road tractors, diesel pickups, and off-roading hobby vehicles. Earth moving equipment and farming equipment operate in an environment that is extremely taxing - heat/frigid temps, dust, extended non-stop use, and general over extended preventative maintenance schedules.This oil is targeting Heavy Equipment and Farm Machinery. They don't give a hoot about our diesel pickup trucks or off roading.
so you put the fat guy in the passenger seat, right?As we've found if you roll a jeep on the right side (with the 2.5, 4.0), the engine will live if you roll it back over and let the oil drain. If it rolls onto the driver's side, you must pull the plugs.
