Thanks Steve! I was hoping either you or someone who was at the GMCWS tech presentation would eventually comment on my original question. After seeing the thread heading in an opposite, although parallel direction, I called Blackstone and spoke with Ryan Stark. He now runs things as Jim is "retired". He told me that the no-ash aircraft oil (e.g. no additives what-so-ever) testing continues in his flat tappet engined truck without incident or damage. He also said that everyone who works there buys and uses the cheapest non-sythetic oil they can find on sale no matter what the vehicle and have no brand preference other then the apppropriate grade per the manufacturer. The frequency of their oil changes is entirely usage specific.
Based on your comment and my discussion with Ryan, I'll be using the Delo 15W-40 dino oil.
