Siberia... If i run out of warranty on the CRD and have to replaced the CAC hoses, what type of hoses should i use.
 Can i use those metal tubing that they use on the bathroom exhaust fans or just buy the hoses at the dealer.

Nescosmo, I have only ran full boost a couple of times and that was to obtain the measurement on a scan tool just to see what it was. I don't blow its nose by wide open throttle so I expect my hoses to last a very long time. The CAC hoses do not show any signs of deterioration at 35k miles. I will probably look around to see what is available when it happens. Some nice stainless steel or polished aluminum tubes with flex couplings would be nice but also very expensive.

April 18th - As a follow up:
 
Based on what I read here as well as Shell/Rottella's suggestions I did switch to the Rottella 5w30 and the oil seems cleaner - but we only have 3000 miles on this service.
 
A new question: Are there any suggestions on miles between servicing with the new oil - given the same driving conditions?
 
Thanks Mike

Don't you mean Rotella T 5W40? If your oil is cleaner, maybe your engine is putting less soot in the oil or maybe the oil is not doing as good a job holding the soot in suspension as what you replaced.
 
I use Rotella T 5W40 and I am happy with the price and availability. My oil gets black as coal after a few hundred miles from change.
 
Putting superior Amsoil in the CRD engine is like watching two beautiful women mud wrestle. When looking at the long list of non-oil problems with the CRD, I don't think it deserves oil that good.

Siberia,
The 'long list' of symptoms points towards two causes:
- Synchronization of the Emission control system
- Higher torque for slower driving habits
 
Do you prefer to change your oil more often while others watch mud wrestling? Now I get a better understanding of where our reputation comes from

Siberia... Lubrication specialist is selling a kit with a filter (1R0750) at 3 micron but with no water separator, the filter should be cheaper that the one that we use and better. the kit with filter is $60.00 I think I going to buy one. What do you think.
