Mystik oil
Any one use Mystik oil here?
I have a 2003 KW T-600 / cummins 475 hp. i recently bought and i have no idea when the oil was done last or what was used .
The company that owned it kept its appearance immaculate you would never dream it had 807,000 miles on it.Ive always used Delo 15-40 oil but I'm interested in the Mystik JT-8 synthetic blend.
Any opinions welcome.

I got a CAT C-15 with 824000 on it and use Shell Rotella. I have used delvac, delo, and rotella. Had a 85 FTRL prior to my 03 KW, and found that rotella is better for me anyway on older engines, and a proven fact it is better on cold starts.

They make good grease. Sadly, my dealer priced it out of site.

We usethe Mystik in the boxes, but run Delvac in the engines. Its a price thing, Wal-Mart sells the Delvac for 9.99/Gal.
Never had any complaints about mystik oil though.

Wow, that's remarkable. I'll have to check in to that. For that price, I will run it in all of my trucks.
