Really?  What ppm level is in their diesel oil?
Id sure love to get something off the shelf and not have to drive into the
port of Albany to get my oil... and pay $$$
Castrol is what I use in my watercooled cars.

Toby called me tonight about oil and I told him what to look for, and he
found the ZDDP in conventional Castrol Diesel.
