    Mobil Delvac is a solid oil. It is not what I normally use, but I have on occasion used it. I run oil samples every time I change oil. Delvac has a very stout additive package in it. Stick with what you are using. That doesn't mean Rotella or Delo are rotten oils. They are good to. But there is nothing with them that is better than what you are using.

    Bio diesel is not the best diesel to run in my e model I don't know if it's drier and makes everything work harder or what but it just runs smoother and has better power on the "normal" diesel. I've been told it's harder on injectors by several people because it has less lubricity.

    Biodiesel you're all thinking bean juice right, or do you mean frying oil?

    Biodiesel
    Biodiesel has a higher lubricity then straight diesel.
