genset maintenance

[Tom Warner]

I have used Mobil Delvac 1300 Super oil for several years for everything
including my diesel tractor, Cat 3208,Jeep Cherokee, Honda Odyssey and
Ferris Commercial mower. If you check on the Amsoil site(funny place to
check) it scored higher the Mobil Delvac synthetic oils. Its available at
Walmart for $6.28/gallon. When you feel it you will immediately feel the
difference from other oils. Since last year I see it at more and more truck
stops. Spend the money on synthetics if you feel the need but in my opinion
when you can buy heavy duty oils like this why waste the money.
