My brother owns a Smart car and a 3/4 ton dodge pickup, both diesel have engines (that's about all they have in common). The Smart car takes synthetic or semi-synthetic oil so he was wondering if the same oil would be beneficial in his truck. Hes had a couple of conflicting expert opinions from diesel mechanics, Cummins says not to use synthetic oil on any engine with solid lifters. Neither one of us can figure out why that would matter. Any ideas? === This list supported in part by The Vintage Triumph Register === http://www.vtr.org |
