Anyone running 15/40 diesel oil in their cars? Doing some reading on another site it seems like diesel oil would be a good choice in oil. I have always used mobil 1 of some sort in all of my vehicles. Just curious if anyone has tried this or know if it would be a problem. I dont know if I can post the name of the site on here but most of your probably know anyway....BOB
Pm me if you want the address.

Just changed to GC today. Before had 10-40 M1. Anway only got like 10 miles on this oil change. I don't care what I"m doing in my car it holds like 65 psi by the stock gauge. I have the TSP ported LS6 Oil pump.......
