Along with plenty of RGT and QSUD 0w20 for the wife's cx-5, I was able to get some PP Euro LX 0w30, Pentosin Super Performance iii 5w30, and Pentosin High Performance ii 5w40 at the famous AZ clearance.
It appears these euro oils are all low ash (MB 229.51) synthetics, and I've read many differing opinions on this site about low ash & American gas don't work well together. Any truth to this?
Am trying to figure out if I can run a full crankcase of these oils (especially the PP LX) at a reasonable OCI (6-8k) or if I should just mix in a quart or two with something more gas-oriented.
Application is a 2008 4.7L Ram 1500 6spd with 375k (70k on motor) that gets the snot driven out of it. Not as concerned about oil grade as I've run everything from 0w20 to 5w40 (all syn) since new. Located in CA so no extreme temps to worry about except maybe in summer
