Its amsoil 5w40 diesel oil for me
How will that help?
thin oil, hot running diesel, 10,000 mile oil changes= sludge
me-> 5w40 5,000 oil change, removed engine covers, = long happy life
or maybe use oil analysis to determine appropriate service life, rather than just picking an abritrary number like 5000, 10000 or whatever.
yeah thats an option also....thanks
