synthetic oil.....

[Helidriver]

Hey, its time for an oil change....I am running Mobil Delvac diesel syn. right now and am having a hard time finding it where in am in northen AB. So the question.....is it ok to change syn brands or is it better to go back to conventional oil. I am also going to the Baldwin BD28 filter over the Fram..due to some bad press on here! Thanks

shouldn't be an issue switching oils. Rotella T is available through most part stores, and fairly cheap too!

I'm running the baldwin filter (shop in north Vancouver has em for $20 or so) and synthetic Shell Rotella 5w40

I also used petro-can's duron 0w50 when I was in -30 weather in alberta. At those temps, parked outside, no block heater or anything= 15w40 = no start. 0w50 = start quite easily.

When it gets warmer here and especially for the summer months I am thinking of switching back to my previous oil, quaker 4x4 blend 15w40... anyone have any advice on that?

Why not keep using the Shell synthetic? I'm using that year round myself
