'07.5 Chevy DMax Rotella 10W-30 CJ-4 5,105 miles

[LateArrivalforLSU]

Mostly highway miles, with moderate towing mixed in.

Looks good .. the characteristic Dmax copper is coming down nicely

Starting to show that it doesn't seem to matter in most vehicles whether you use 10W30 or 15W40. Nice to know.

Solid report.

Yet another confirmation of ability to protect, for both the CJ-4 and lighter grade!

Arka - any chance you'll post this over at DP? Some people could use enlightenment there as well!

Done. I wonder how many times I'll hear "I thought you couldn't run a 10W-30 in a diesel"

Ark, do you have a DPF? If so, are you going to keep it and have you had any problems with it?

Errrrrr.......I might want to put on my tin foil hat before I answer that question.

I haven't had any probs with my DPF or regen, because my entire stock exhaust is bolted up and is under the deck at my house.

Yeah, donning the tin foil hat might not be a bad idea!!! He** yeah!!

Nice...I think your DPF will live long and prosper no matter what oil you use in your crank case

!!

It's good stuff! Great TBN after 5K+. Looks like the mighty Duramax likes it too. My old Ford 6.9L and a couple of farm tractors can't seem to shear it down much either.

Good vis for a 30, motor is so new so those numbers are good, I would think. But I do not have much experience with these motors. I am sure there must be dozens of UOA's to compare to.
