Nice to see. Is this a personal car Petri or for a customer?

This is a funny coincidence. My name is Petri (the customer) and my "broker" is Petri too... So, allthough the picture is taken by PN I put it in my gallery for obvious reasons. I'm on the other side of the earth and pics taken by AlpineTrade's Petri are only thing I have yet. Time is sooo long for waiting. This is the car I have wanted for +20 years. Hopefully shipping goes well. -Petri S-
No, it's a Dodge...you know that other bankrupt company. Fix It Again Tony.
Yes. From the other picture I got from Petri N I can see that it's Dodge Ram 3500. By the way. When I got my hands on a car what do you all think about using synthetic motor oil in it? The car comes from an old lady, original owner of the car and I'm pretty sure the engine is in original shape. Will it flush all the residue and sludge too fast from the internals of the engine glogging the oil passages?
Synthetic motor oil is not a fast flush. You might, repeat, might get a little oil seeping from gaskets and seals if there is a little sludge helping them seal. Personally I would use a quality 10W-30 non-synthetic oil. An option would be to add a little ZDDP additive to help protect the cam and lifters.

The car comes from an old lady? With brushed aluminum slots? Pretty hip old lady.

Yes, funny ain't? At least Title was in her name from Dec -75 and according to her, she got it to her name then, when the loan for the car was paid in full. She had to let the car go because of her age and ability to drive the car anymore. What a sad day it must have been to her. But the Mustang is coming to a good home.

How about motor oils for the diesel engines? Delvac, Rotella etc.? It's my understanding that those type of oils have higher amount of "additives" versus oils designed for gasoline engines.
It's my understanding that Delvac and Rotella oils have reduced ZDDP and their other additives are not the best for gasoline engines. I'll let you make up your own mind with some information provided with these links:

Thank You for the links. My thougts about diesel oils in gasoline engines comes from here:- Frequently Asked Questions "The high power-to-displacement ratio of a motorcycle engine means rod and main bearings are subjected to loads that are not normally found in passenger car engines. The valve train is also highly loaded, and requires extreme pressure boundary lubrication. The same can be said about gears in the transmission, which are normally lubricated by engine oil. Oil additives containing phosphorus protect these highly loaded extreme pressure areas (in both gasoline and diesel engines). Because diesel engines have higher loading of components, more of the phosphorus-containing additive is present than in typical passenger car oils. And with advanced catalyst systems for gasoline engines, the phosphorus content has been declining in passenger car oils." So they claim to have more protection for the valvetrain because of higher levels of phosphorous-containing additive. I used dieseloils several years in my and my wife's bikes without problems. I got similar answer from finnish oilcompany "Neste" about dieseloils' better additives when you don't have to care about catalysators.
