I also stocked up on two 6-packs of Mobil 1 10w-30 when Costco had it on sale for $22 per pack. I've heard lots of varying opinions about using synthetic oil at the 50-hour interval due to the break-in period, but according to my dealer and folks at Exxon-Mobil, those are myths not based on any scientific evidence and Mobil 1 is fine to use in even brand new engines right off the factory floor. |
Your using synthetic oil in the engine, and the cheapest stuff you can get in the trans???
Whatever engine oil you, use make sure it is rated for a diesel engine. Diesel oils have special anti soot, and anti acid additives that are important.
Amsoil has synthetic oils for both ends.
