Mystik 15w50 in m1009?

[dpaulus]

It's time for the first oil change in my m1009. Has anyone used Mystik 15w50 synthetic blend from Oreilly's?

Thanks.

I would recommend either Shell Rotella 15W-40 or Delo 400 15W-40, both of which meet the latest CD specifications. Neithrr is cheap, but then neither is an engine rebuild.

I wouldn't go higher than 15w-40 unless you were in 100+ degree weather all the time.

If you're gonna buy from O'Reilly's...they almost always have gallons of Delo 400 15w40 or Mobil Delvac 15w40 on sale in the $11-12 range. I usually buy which ever of those two oils are on sale and a Wix oil filter.

I don't have any 1st hand experience with the Mystik but I've heard it's a good, underrated oil. Lot of farmers and motorcyclists use Mystik oils in tractors and bikes. I've also heard it's cheaper at farm/tractor stores than at O'Reilly's. But there too I don't have personal experience. There is no real need for the 50 weight stuff though...not in a 6.2 diesel anyways. 40 weight is fine.

I'm sure it's a good oil. I think Mystik is owned by Citgo but made in the US if that makes a difference to you.

Great, thank you. I got the Delo 400.

Is the Fram PH5 filter okay?

Thanks again!

I'd go with WIX. Not a fan of Fram filters. Every Fram filter that I have seen cut open is just paper and is collapsed on itself. I run Wix filters in everything I got and have no problems with them.

I tend to stay away from Fram filters. They use cardboard endcaps, cheap weak bypass springs, and they use inferior filtering elements.

I use Wix or Napa Gold (made by Wix) filters. ACDelco filters are pretty good, but the ones that fit the 6.2 diesel have less oil capacity than most other filters.

I buy WIX from Napa and usually shop around at my local Tractor Supply for oils unless Napa is running a sale. Rotella 15W-40 or Napa brand for this guy.
