Problems Getting Oil

[luvrbus]

The new Delo 400 I use in the MH is .05 ash content you guys worry to much about that stuff high ash content is not going to hurt one only makes for less miles on a oil change check your TBN you may need more ash lol

Hi Lin, my old literature had the lower ash content number, the web site has the higher now, I would assume some new formulation, still within DD specs I think, Clifford, are you saying more frequent oil changes reduces the ash issue? Had a difficult time locating Delo 100 40w here in Vegas, lvmci...

Tom, I have been using the Delo 400 with good results. I get it here in boulder city through car quest, I'm with Clifford on this one.

All the best!

I did the oil change this morning with the Delo 100 from O'Reilly's. I did as Clifford suggested and cut open the oil filter.  Who would have thought mice could live in there!.  Anyway, I did not find anything else extraordinary in the filter.  Is there any particular thing I should be looking for?

I've never actually cut a filter open but I assume the goal is to find nothing (other than dirty oil).  So it sounds like your mission was accomplished.    

If you find a piston skirt (some assembly required) - that would be bad.
