I can get a couple of cases at 6.75 a quart, would it be a good oil for a brm?
mobile 1 tdt is the same price that I can get the amsoil for and the amsoil also meets vw specAmsoil is overrated and overpriced. Use what works. Mobil 1 TDT
Read the literature more carefully. They crafted language that makes it sound like they meet the spec, but Amsoil does not apply (or pay) for any manufacturer certifications. They say the oil "is suitable for vehicles requiring 505.01" or something like that. There's no way of knowing if it meets the spec. It hasn't been certified.amsoil also meets vw spec

Please don't drink the Amsoil KoolAid. If anyone approaches you wearing an Amsoil hat and jacket and randomly drooling and spouting Amsoil propaganda, run the other way!!!!!I can get a couple of cases at 6.75 a quart, would it be a good oil for a brm?
I wouldn’t use The new CK-4/SN rated Delvac 1 in any engine that has a flat tapper cam. Not sure if TDT is also dual rated now. Amsoil SS HD oils are better for this application.
It doesn’t meet the Ford powerstroke oil spec so the phosphorus has been reduced below 1000 ppm. Haven’t seen a VOA yet but the SDS suggests the D1 formula was significantly changed (with cheaper base oils) for the CK-4/SN rollout.A lot of guys were pulling their hair out when the CJ-4 rated oils first emerged too. Those fears turned out to be unfounded. It seems Ford is largely responsible for creating a distrust of the CK-4 spec. My understanding is that the Xw-40 CK-4/SN oils are exempt from the phosphorous/zinc limits that apply to the thinner grades. I'd wait for some UOA's on the PD engines before passing judgement.
