Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience running this oil.

I'm currently running Mobil 1 10w40. FI long tube headers that get rid of the cats (I live in Florida- no emissions check). Oil cooler and baffled oil pan with greater capacity (about 6.5qt compared to the standard 5).

Only downsides I can find to using diesel oil are potentially poisoning the cats. And I was hoping for a more stable oil that can withstand high temps and possibly burn off less. That being said, with my current set up I rarely get over 180F, and drop about half way on the dip stick about every 2500 miles.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks
-James
