I saw a couple weeks back at the local Wal Mart "Mobil I Truck and SUV" oil. Its 5w-40 and is rated for our Cummins engines. Price is the same as the regular mobil 1 for gas engines. Anyof you seen or use this yet? I've been using Amsoil but it is such a pain to get a hold of. I have to order it. Going to Walmart sure is a lot easier. Here is a link to the oil at the Mobil site:

I just put that in my truck this week.

 

I have been told on this form it is repackaged mobil Delvac 1.. same thing "marketing"... but of course good stuff!

Interesting the differant things that are a pain to one and not another.I think ordering Amsoil is the cats meow and going to Wally world sucks for anything.

 

to each his own.

I don't like waiting on somthing for 3 or 4 days when i can get it in less than an hour.

 

You get threw the line at Wally world in less then a hour? I kinda plan ahead and its waiting for me in the garage.

 

Yeah I prefer to buy off the shelf too. That and Mobil 1 and Valvoline are API certified for warranty requirements.

 

Won't get into the API thing I just can't stand Wally world.Refuse to spend money with them if at all possable.Charge card,catalogs and UPS is a wonderful thing.Have read many independent test studies,will stay with Amsoil products.

 

I hate ordering things and having to wait for them. When I want something, I want it now, not a week from now. You guys say you would rather order oil then go to Wal-Mart ( or any store) and get it.. Yeah right, if Wal-mart carried Amsoil then I doubt many people would still order it. I have heard just about all the reasons to buy Amsoil, but having to order it and wait on it is a new one..I personally don't see that as being a positive reason. Just my .02

OFF TOPIC OFF TOPIC

Poor guy asks a question about one kind of oil and it goes sideways.

I got one George Foreman Grill at Walmart and I got the other one by ordering off the TV. Both ways worked fine.

 

Sorry.

 

Mobil 1 truck and suv is relabeled delvac 1, arguably the best diesel oil you can get. Definitely a good choice for your CTD deere nut.

 

How about a one stop get all website? does genos carry Amsoil?
I would make it a bunch easier.

 

Schied's diesel carries Fleetguard (cheaper than Geno's) AND Valvoline/cummins "Extreme" which is synthethic.

I will say that WalMarts in some parts of the country, when I'm traveling, are a lot nicer than the one where I live.

 

In the interest of an "apples to apples" comparison, Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme is a Group III oil (severely hydrocracked hydrocarbon base stock). Mobil I Truck & SUV/Delvac I is a Group IV oil (PAO, or polyalphaolefin base stock). Group IV oils are true synthetics. Group III oils - well, I think of them as "sorta synthetics".

JMHO. YMMV.
