No, I never even considered aircraft grade oil. Since I often have to go to the Shell wholesaler to pick up my oil for my retailer (instead of waiting for it to be delivered to the retail location) when I am out there again I will ask.

Aeroshell would be a poor choice. It is expensive, packaged only in quarts and most important, is almost straight mineral oil. The ashless dispsersant additive package is very minimal. It does not have a TBN rating at all, just a TAN spec to show that it is not acidic.

Years ago I used to drive truck , yes the Detroits use and leak oil. I remember adding a gallon per fillup which was around 400 miles. This was on a varity of 6,71 8,71 6,92 8,92 engines. The 92 series are nice engines to drive.
