Re: Oil Consumption 2000 JGC V-8
Ya know... I just looked at the spec sheets and Delo 400, Delvac 1300, and
the old formula Rotella T are only rated as an (automotive rating) SJ usable up to 2001 vehicles. Only Shell's new Rotella T Triple Protection (released July 1st) meets the current automotive (SM) standard in 10w-30 and 15w-40 grades.

I just returned from a 2500 mile trip. I have a 2003 Overland and noticed the exact same problem. I also have used Mobil One since new and never used any oil until this trip. I did change the oil filter I use to a Napa Gold from a Fram TuffGuard but everything else is the same. I have 110K on my engine. Some people (in the far past) used to claim that Mobile One would evaporate. Have they changed the formulation again and possibly causing a problem. Sounds silly but I'm curious because of all the new types they are selling as extended oils. |
