what kinda oil he using? lemme guess, some cheap arse SAE 50 oil, which is designed for old oil burning diesel engines, because of its thick body. i'm sure his van is smoking, or will start to smoke eventually like an old truck.
i'm using Shell Rimula X in one vehicle, and Castrol Syntec Blend in another.

Castrol Hypuron, we service diesel vehicles and we;ve been using this as it;s one of the recommend oil for most Diesel PICK UP's and SUV's

it's a semi-synthetic....
should compare to the syntec blend which is a part synthetic oil.
don't know if tracmac replacing the syntec blend with the hypuron though...

i used to run shell rimula in the black bottle. I used it for 2 years & then switched to Castrol Syntec Blend because i dislike how thin the shell oils are.
