Doing an oil change again soon. Was thinking about using Mobil 1 5w40 turbo diesel oil. Now what is the difference with regular Mobil 1 5w40? Just want to make sure it's safe for the engine.

Well, I don't want an oil debate. I just would like to know the difference between both

TDT oil (Mobil 1 Diesel/Truck 5W40) is recommended by Kevin from "Ultimate motor works" because of the higher content of ZDDP. I've been using it since two years and the car seems happy about it ;-)

Little discussion about it ;-): http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...0-today-6.html

I've decided to go 5w-50 instead . I thought it would be hard to find but free shipping on Amazon . Even easier than a store run!
