Anyone try engine oil from Power Diesel?

Claims to be much higher in ZDDP and detergent (calcium) than the modern CJ+ and CK+ specs, more akin to the oils the 6.9/7.3 IDI engines were designed for. Anecdotally my oil tests have shown lead wear level increase over the years as I moved away from CI spec oil (which is impossible to find here), of course there are a lot more miles on my engine now too.

Thoughts? Anyone use it? Another snake oil salesman?

I plan to to start running it in all my rigs once my barrels of delo are empty. I’ve seen a lot more valvetrain and bearing wear and failures in the engines I’ve been in the last few years, where previously with identical setups didn’t wear. I think the answer is aftermarket oils that are designed for our older engines, seems these newer oils are not supplying the protection they need, even with ridiculously small change intervals.

Thanks Thewespaul, I was surfing on my phone and just realized I got my websites mixed up! I saw, what I now realize was your post about this oil earlier today in another tread on this forum (https://www.oilburners.net/threads/best-oil.86125/#post-1031908). For some reason I thought I was on another website and wanted to come here to some of the more trustworthy folks and get their opinions.
