Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

82.6F and sunny @ 13:30, heading up to around 84F for the day's high. Low this morning was 49F.

Spent the entire afternoon yesterday working on coating 8' and 12' square 4 x 4 posts. Didn't keep track of how many sides I got done.

Probably back to more of that today.

Moved the 12' round posts off of the wooden saw horses with the forks and onto the hay wagon to make more room for recently coated posts to dry.

Have one bill that needs paid.

At a minimum the hopper feeder needs refilled so probably get to that as well.

Beyond that see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent Saturday ...

Ordered 15 quarts of Mobil One European Formula 0-40 to change oil on the van.

Fritz,

IIRC, your Sprinter is an NCV3 ... not a T1N like ours. And requires an oil that meets Mercedes spec 229.51.

I haven't really kept up with this stuff, but last I knew the correct oil for that vehicle was Mobil 1™ ESP Formula M 5W-40:

Mobil 1™ ESP Formula M 5W-40

From the link:

Mobil 1™ ESP Formula M 5W-40 is an advanced performance synthetic engine oil designed to help provide exceptional cleaning power, wear protection and overall performance. Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40 is engineered to help prolong the life and maintain the efficiency of emission systems in both diesel and gasoline powered automobiles that require an oil that is approved against MB 229.51 specification.

AFAIK, the 0w-40 does not meet that spec.

FWIW ....

A Rambler Rebel, some of those could really scoot.

Thanks for checking

It says it meets the MB specs 229.5 but has an expanded range for viscosity

If you use that oil it may cause problems with your emissions systems (cat converter or dpf ?)

229.5 is not the same as 229.51

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.6C and it's presently 13.0C [heading to 20C, according to the 'Liars'], light overcast & calm. Apparently that's all going to change this arvo/evening with high winds & rain. 'Tis the season.

I've successfully transitioned 'into the future' by an hour = my radio/clock woke me at the correct time and all of my clocks have been changed. I'll get my ute's one prior to heading off to Church, which will be happening in a few minutes, and then the rest of the day will be His.

That's about it, take care all.
