Many fleet managers down here in Florida have gone to using a top grade 15W-40 for everything, and I'm considering doing the same. I'm already doing it for my personal engines. All the Commercial ("C") oil that I would normally use meets or exceeds the requirements of the Service Station grade ("S"). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ :: Paul and Cindy Kruse :: KJV Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, 165 South Kenneth Court :: my peace I give unto you: Merritt Island, FL 32952 :: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
