Bad advice. We've seen here time and time again that castrol 5w-40 is an inferior product to their 0w-40. So to use the 5w over the 0w is a bad choice and not one I would use.
Doesn't m1 0w-40 and castrol 0w-40 meet this spec? If so its a no brainer. One of those brands is typically on sale somewhere daily.
Never mind. I just remembered the 505.01 is the diesel spec. Though not certified I wonder how well a 15w-40 or 10w-30 hdeo would work in this application.
Or is this a low saps app? If so nevermind. Your stuck using high priced oils.
