    Wanted for my new(to me) 1991 7.3L Navistar diesel engine.
    Yes, this is in a Ford F350. Of the service bulletin’s I’ve read, Ford is still recommending CJ-4, not CK-4 engine oils. Preferably a straight 30 weight.
    Can’t locate 30 weight CJ-4 engine oil(so far).

    FORD recommends CK-4 oil, they do not recommend CK-4/SN oil.

    There is a difference; this is right from their service bulletin and the dealer.

    Stumbled upon some Mobil Delvac 1Extreme 15w40 at the Walmart in Gatesville Tx. $22.90 a gallon. Bought 3.
    They also had Royal Purple 15w40 at $29.90 a gallon, passed on that for now. I will see how this Delvac Extreme performs, as I don’t know if this engine ever had synthetic engine oil before, I am going to change out oil filter after about 500 miles or so. Maybe once more before changing at the 5,000 mi recommend interval.
     
    Heavyd Thanks this.
