on the topic of oils..
i have been using 'ok' diesel rated oil in my diesel landcruiser(78)
for bout 10 years...changed at regular intervals.(typically Pennzoil)
i decided to change it to the chevron 'delo' oil..
a greater cost..but decided from what i had read here and other places to try it.
(also switched to chevron diesel too at the same time >,from 'pay less' gas/diesel...)
why am i telling you this?
since ive owned the beast...the original oil filler cap has always been a little loose.
didn't leek..was just a lil 'not snug'
anyway..so..after the' delo' being in the truck for a month...that filler cap 
fits tight as all gettout.  as it would have been from new im guessing.
cause of that..ill be sticking with the better oil.
makes me think its doing good stuff.
as for the chevron diesel?
didn't think it made a difference till ifilled again once with  payless(its close..chevron is out of the way) id defiantly smokes MORE on startup with the cheaper fuel
:o(  ... back to chevron :o)
i take most info i read with a grain of salt.
but for me..this is enough to stay with this stuff..even though its more pricy.
and a lil outta my way.
i wonder if the better 'used' oil makes for better brush burning.?
ive got 10 acres of broom to cut and burn (some of it 6 inches thick!!)
no bears though...just ticks  :o(   hate ticks.

ok..
have a good day.
