When my customers would ask if I recommended an additive I

would tell them they would probably never know for sure if

it helped or not,but if they felt better using it go ahead.

Anything to make a person feel better.

nope i use shell, it has all the zinc and stuff that its supposed to have. straight weighted shell has not been changed. just so ya know. in winter ive been trying the synthetic 5w30 and don't see any adverse affects.

Again, just use Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel 5w-40 diesel oil. Easy to find, has lots of zinc, good for cold starting (5w), fine at higher temps (40 weight), has little shear-down, and can be left in for extended periods of time. It is also rated for SL and SM spark engine use.

Some people over think oil.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
