Can we use 10W-40 in all our cars?

i think people need to be more specific than 'no google it', that gives the impression you know something important we don't. I found this topic whilst googling this chevron oil. I am about to use it in a large cummins diesel engine which requires an API CD oil as it's turbo charged. This well priced oil is CF, so well above a CD rating. It is good for big engines as well as small ones and is sold by some people as a substitute to shell rimula x 15w-40, which is much more expensive.
so if you know something for a fact which we don't, please tell
huh huh huhh huh huh......huhh huh huh....he said cummins.......so if you know something for a fact which we don't, please tell

what's the date of the thread got to do with weather or not you can reply?
The stuff's archived for reference. Does the fact that the thread is old mean that rubbish posted is no longer rubbish? I'm surprised your mods leave potentially liabal stuff on this site.
Nice to see another thread this evening about rude sellers etc, how about rude forum members.
And as for the punt who thinks cummins is somehow funny, get a life

IMO a decent 0w-40 synthetic can be put in just about anything without significant worries. However, it's always best to "read the manual" and follow manufacturer recommendations.
That is true. Unless you service your own car it probably has that or 10w-40 semi-synthetic in it, most garages only have one or two types of oil in stock.EDLT said:

Another noobie bumping a thread over a year old, great.
Have I just read the word 'noobie' as if from some teenage l33t speak kiddie? Just out of interest why does his relative newness to this forum render the question less valid? Next you'll be telling me that he doesn't drive enough cc to deserve a vote.scammell said:

Libel. If you're going to pull that out, at least spell it correctly. There's nothing libelous anywhere in this thread. Here's a quick guide about libel. http://www.urban75.org/info/libel.htmlThe stuff's archived for reference. Does the fact that the thread is old mean that rubbish posted is no longer rubbish?

You say it's ARCHIVED for REFERENCE. What you did is exactly like going in to a library, opening a reference book and starting to write in your own thoughts at the back.
It's also known internet etiquette to not bump an old post, especially when your post really isn't relevant to the original dead thread. Post a new topic, and possibly link the old thread is a much better and significantly less annoying method.
Hope that helps.

If I were you I would have pointed out the person that called you a noob has only been here for 12 months themselves. The stuff's archived for reference.

[devils advocate]Hope that helps.
I am/have been a member of a couple of forums where it is etiquette not to start new threads when replying to an old one could do the job, and if you do post a new thread you may well get jumped on! So you can't really win!
