[diesel_mercedes] Re: Dextron VI Valvoline. How long. in a 240D?

 

Agreed with the one important caveat : you must do the periodic analysis or you're just flubbing your dub .

FWIW , 99 % of all privately owned vehicles , are run in _extremely_ severe service , , commuting & stop and go traffic , mixed in with the average short hop drive (under 20 minutes) is the very worst service there is .

Few seem to understand that simple concept , this is why OTR rigs get 500,000 miles out of the same auto tranny your wife fried @ 97,000 .

Synthetics are *very* good dollar value .

Their 15-40 diesel oil is good for 3x OE recommendation or longer as determined by oil analysis. I have been running Amsoil in my duramax GMC since it was new doing an analysis once per year. I got 100K miles out of the first oil batch before the analysis recommended changing the oil. Pretty impressive.
