Thanks for your comments. I read your post on this site and another every time I see your name. You just like I, don't comment on something we haven't tried in depth. I admire your knowledge.
TBN is a big key to oil service. I expect 99% of engine oil users have never seen or read about it. I know you have. I do use Amsoil and am a dealer. I've never sold any and don't push it as a sale. I do enjoy seeing someone that's willing to learn by reading, start using the product and then see what it will do for them. That's one more that's stopped the some flow of American money back to the Arabs too.
For diesel engines I use the Marine 15W40 synthetic oil. The TBN is 12. I started out with that on a 574 IH that had 4,800 hours and used some oil. It cleaned the rings, oil use stopped and power came up a bit. Oil got black but with tbn 12 dark oil means nothing. Engines will run quieter on most of them and run cooler too. Start easier in winter too. Easier starting in winter cuts down a wear. I can't think of another oil that'll go above the Marine 15w40. It's just what most diesel engines need.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
