Good luck to you on future endeavors!! Sure must've been tough to let it go. What's your next move?

Curious to know or can someone explain to me the fluctuation in the price of diesel as it relates to the price of oil? Example, October finished at $46 and diesel (at least where I was at) was hanging around $1.88-90. Now, two months (DEC 23) later the POO is $37 but the diesel is still the...

Using Brembos and they are working great. Had Akebono on before and they were equally as great. Switched because I got the brembos for a nice price. Really comes down to how much you wanna spend!!

Is RP just geared for other types of engines? I met a few guys at the shop that--while they didn't think negatively of RP--also recommended as a first choice Rotella,Delo,etc.. I'm just really curious about different oil types and why ppl recommend one over the other. Although I know when it...

Thanks Broc Great point on the engines!! I'll wait and see what this next report says about the oil sample (not sure if you read my second reply about it being a little less viscous) but I'm leaning toward the Rotella. I'll change it out around Christmas and should be good till June.

Thanks for the feedback Gun. Funny you mention M1 15/50...that's what's being used now and the report from Blackstone mentioned that--albeit barely--the viscosity was a little low for a 15/50 grade. It also mentioned a significant amount of iron, so I wanted to look around at some different...

Curious to know if anyone has had prior experience using royal purple 20w50 (or RP in general)..OR..Rotella T5 15w40. Will pick one for my 87 SDL. On the front of both cans it says it can be used in diesel engines. Is there a better choice? Appreciate the info. Cheers

I'm a bit curious as well. Came across this at the auto store and picked a can up, guy said they ordered on accident. Everything I've been able to research says that its basically a "lubricant"?? But isn't that why we use good oil in the first place? I've used Lubro Moly before (Diesel Purge...
