i stopped at pepboys to pick up some oil/coolant, but turns out my local store is going service only, so no joy there.  but whilst perusing whats left on the shelves, i noticed there doesn't seem to be any 10w-40 CF4 oil.  looking online at autozone seems to show mostly 15w-40.  all the bottle images i see online say CK instead of CF, which i'm presuming is a better/more current standard then CF.  a quick forum search seems to indicate that should be okay, but i wanted to check

also it might be handy to update the maintenance page of the wiki with a selection of recommends from the popular store (autozone/tractor supply) items.  as well as, coolant, which i was not able to find on the wiki

Rotella T1 straight grade or T4 multi.  Autozone, WallyMart, should carry them.

Guys : I just go to Walmart and buy the jug of Mobile 1 Diesel.  I figure if the synthetic oil is in all of my auto engines that it worth putting in my boat engine!!

I usually put in chevron Delo.  Thats what I used to use in my old 300sd Mercedes MANY years ago.
