[s-cars] Diesel oil?

[Harold McComas]

Jim, someone ( forgot who) posted that Mobil is changing their SUV oil into 
two formulations, the 5W30 Truck and SUV oil , starting mid-Feb and the 
5W-40 Turbo Diesel Truck oil, releasing in April. Found the press release: 
http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/exxonmobil/index.jsp?epi-content=GENERIC&newsId=20060209005046&ndmHsc=v2*A1072962000000*B1141654622000*C4102491599000*DgroupByDate*J2*N1001106&newsLang=en&beanID=2030803304&viewID=news_view

Or  go to www.exxonmobil.com and click "news releases" and look for the one 
dated 2/09/06, 12 pm.

I already went to two Wally's around here and they already had the new 5W30 
oil in the 5 qt jugs. Only found a one quart bottle of the old stuff.  I 
think I will be due for an oil change by the time the new stuff comes out.
