Fordiesel69 268 #4 Posted June 14, 2012 Castrol Full Synthetic 0w-30 stating "made in germany" on the bottle fond at autozone really works well in these engines. It usually cuts back on the oil consumption and has a better flow to the piston area during startup. Dipper / splash lube engines often have cylinder scoring from oil not being adequalty "flung" to the piston area due to the operator not keeping the throttle up during warmup.
