Russ did you run Delo 400 in your 01?
Yep, and as stated 10,000 mile changes, and fleetguard filters.
Thanks, I can tell by the pics. I wonder why that oil causes that to happen?
It was interesting my 98 12V I obtained with 50k the previous owner used Delo. From that point on I used AMZ/OIL 15-40. At 100k when the warranty was up I did the "Killer Dowel Pin" repair. That involves removing the front timing cover and tabbing an alignment pin that can fall out and cause damage. The inside of the cover had black streaks. At 120k we did the same on my Dad's 94 and his was a nice golden color. He started with the AMZ/OIL at there first oil change.
Now do I think a person should use an engine cleaner when using Delo??? HE!! no.
Lou I am a big fan of AMZ/OIL products and have used then since the 70's.
Best thing you can do is contact Blackstone Labs and ask for a oil sampling kit to be mailed to you and sample your next oil change. Do that and you will know the condition of your engine.
