Its not about the API Lable on the oil, Its what the API Rating is. Some of the newer oils will not work in the older engines. If its the wrong rating it will eat the cam up and cause other damage! I guess you think the oil for a NEW DIESEL ENGINE is good enough for a 50 year old diesel engine? I guess you think oil for a new Mustang is good enough for a a 1969 427 Cobra Mustang? WRONG!

I think you need to look up the API Oil Standards and do some reading and understand what the ratings mean before you make a statement like you have. Bandit
