Well..... yea. If an engine is designed such that it requires something
special then you better use it but if your going to use a special (and
expensive) oil just because it's used somewhere else, I'd say your wasting
you money. If you want testimonials I can come up with plenty of them, like
most of us, how about a 300k mile diesel Toyota that's had nothing but Farm
and Fleet brand 10W30, still burns no measurable amount of oil, starts well
below 0 (deg F)...... Whatever?????
