Wallyworld Oil Woes

[55 Fargo]

Hi all, using the Wallyworld Diesel SAE 40 oil, I was using Rotella T, not sure what possessed me to make a switch.

M y engine burns blue on this stuff , it didn't do much burning blue on Shell Rotella T 15 w 40, infact I never noticed any blue smoke:rolleyes: when using Rotella T.

I am either going back to Rotella immediately, or am going to try Castrol 20 W 50.

My engine has miles on her, so the cheap oil was getting burnt, the good oil wasn't, the good oil only leaked out:D .

I am at this moment running my car, with it's nose in the garage, the rad covered over, electrosol in the cooling system with water,it's cold about 45 here today, I cannot get this engine to rise up over 155 to 160. I quickly drained a sample from the petcock, it wa s hot, but I could stick my finger in there for a second, it was around 145 to 150.

The top of the rad is good and warm, but was able to place my hand on her for a moment.

It is cold here today, so doing my Ectrosol flush, may not work as well as a hot day.

I am going totake the car for a 10 to 20 mile run soon, so far the water is crystal clear in the rad.
