High Mileage diesel oil?

[Hysilver]

Why is there no HM HDEO offered?
Don't need or want it, just a question

Valvoline makes it

Someone would have to define what high mileage for a Diesel is, Oil companies are claiming 75,000 is high mileage for a gas engine......Sounds absurd to me.

I just noticed the new Valvoline MaxLife diesel oil at Walmart not long ago. It's 15W-40 if I'm not mistaken, there may be other viscosities as well - I'm not sure.

High mileage diesel oil... straight from the marketing dept.

please elucidate the high mileage in your version because if you know like MB classification such as 229.5 or 228.5..

the 229 means for passanger diesel engine
228 means for heavy duty diesel engine..

and .5 means according to theory it can run 50000 km

means 228.5, the oil is HDEO and can run 50000 km and it is HIGH MILEAGE HDEO..the reality? i think no..

all depends on the diesel fuel, hows your driving and many more...

An old car from the 60's or 70's would appreciate Valvoline's HM 15w40.

And what diesel engine is being discussed has a major play on what is high mileage. I don't consider 500,000 miles to be high miles in my commercial engines. Even 750,000 mile still doesn't get me thinking about "high mileage". Have taken several engines well over 1 million miles without major repairs using the same HDEO oil they got all along. The idea of high mileage diesel oil has to be a marketing gimmick.

Valvoline Premium Blue RestoreTM

Just came out and is only available at Cummins distributors.

what would even be considered "high mileage" for a diesel application? Diesel oil is stout anyways, what else could they add besides fancy bottles and marketing garbage

Valvoline came up with this way back in the 1990's, it was a split decision between those who wanted to market it for 50,000 mi. and above and those who wanted 100,000 and above...

That's for sure! Even I don't consider any diesel I have had to be high miles till after 500,000 miles, and then I still use the same oil that it got before. I have taken a few diesels to over 1 million miles and they got the same oil all their life.

Highe mileage Diesel Oil......whatever Oil got you to high mileage. Keep using it. If you happen to have a Detroit 60 high milage diesel oil will be dripping off the back of the rig straight out of the slobber tube.
