Engine oil discussion

Moly is another anti wear additive.

I should have my first sample back soon from my first Delo change to see what they are compared to Shell, although I suspect it'll take a few changes to get the real picture.

Cummins advertises Valvoline oil as an approved extended oil for the Isx...... Although at the time of cm871s release my mechanic told me the other day Delo was factory oil in the Isx, not sure if there's any truth to that but it's a possibility, I noticed on the radiator I still have factory sticker for Climatech elc or Delo ELC as a substitute which leads me to believe Chevron products might've been factory initially....

Another thing, the stringent EPA laws forthcoming are pushing for lighter oils. I see Chevron is working on 5w30 oils for newer diesels, good oil may be thing of a past going forward!
