TG: Shot down? I did not see any flames.
Better fuel consumption, smoother and quieter. What other objectives do you have in mind?
The fleet has substantial engine wear now. So higher viscosities at running temperatures makes sense.
We know that the chains are sprockets are failing. Thats a lube failure in my book. Whatever folks are using for oil, there is a significant pattern of engine failures.
There are no claims by others to refute. Only my observations. All we need is for some others to try some W40 oils. TG, are you going to go on record that a 5W40 or 10W40 will cause harm?
If no hard done, then perhaps there is something to learn or gain!
There was some interchange about lube oil technology a while ago, but I consider that interesting not in conflict with my claims/observations.
I am not saying that folks need to use a diesel engine oil. I am stating that I am seeing some interesting effects with a specific 5W40 and am suggesting that others consider using a W40 and report their findings.
Perhaps others will see some benefit, perhaps not. But the issue will not be resolved if it is not tried.
You like to go by the book it seems. I do tend to explore the borders. No problem. You input is always welcome! Diversity is great.
