Oil Change Anomoly

Don't know about any Diesel specific oils, but Wal-Mart has 5 qt jugs of Mobil 1.

 

[Wayne M.]

Yes. I’ve been seeing 5Q jugs too, but it’s usually that newer spec oil, like for the eco diesel. I hope he put the right stuff in.

I bought a 5 qt bottle of 5w 30 for the girlfriends car. Haven't seen a 5w 40 or 15w 40 in 5 qt bottles

Motorcraft is the only diesel one that I saw, but wasn’t really looking for any other just happened to notice it

As a side note: if it is only 2 quarts over don't worry about it, mine made that much in un-burned fuel in 4800 miles before I deleted. Now, no worries.

Good point! A little fuel dilution in less than 5000 miles doesn't mean you have a fuel injector problem.

My 8.2% fuel dilution in 3600+ miles would have been approximately 1 quart of fuel dilution. It showed kinematic viscosity of 12.2 @ 100°C IIRC. Which is just on the upper viscosity limit of a 30w.

I would be concerned about 2 quarts of fuel in oil tho. Because that would be 16-17% fuel dilution and your hot oil will be less than 30 weight (closer to SAE 25 weight) viscosity. And that would be the wrong weight for a diesel no matter how heavy or light you load it.

Here is another. Some of the reviews say they picked it up in the store. May not be available in all stores.
