Robinhood 02-25-2005, 10:10 PM Rotella-t synthetic 5W-40 Thinkmoto 02-25-2005, 10:35 PM Rotella T for now...then its Amsoil throughout the truck!!:ro) Kroutman 02-25-2005, 10:57 PM Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme 5W-40 Synthetic. yitsock 02-25-2005, 11:08 PM Whatever is at the quick change oil place. I've never blown a motor up because of BAD oil, only NO oil! sledman 02-25-2005, 11:37 PM Only have 2,000 miles on it so far, but Delo 400 always kept my big blocks going..... HOOKEM 02-25-2005, 11:42 PM Schaeffer's only for my truck. SteveNorCal 02-25-2005, 11:54 PM Delo 400 lakingslayer 02-25-2005, 11:59 PM Delo 400 bought at Costco tophog 02-26-2005, 12:19 AM Delo 400 _nar_ 02-26-2005, 12:27 AM John Deere plus 50, they say it will go 50% more hours than the recomended oil change time. Use it in all the tractors, seems to be good stuff. Just changed it in the 8100 and 4250 today at almost 300 hours. Still not as black as the crap cenex oil was at 100 hours. duramaximizer 02-26-2005, 01:06 AM always run rotella in all of our diesel stuff ...i think it is one of the best oils out there... might have to try the deere plus 50 though because our dozers are alway black as coal when we drain it.....heck after about a day you can't even tell ya changed the stuff ... might have to see.....but always had good luck with the rotella t or the 15 40 with the heavy duty dirt guard or whatever it is called. tucker 02-26-2005, 06:29 AM 5W-40 Synthetic Rotella jetboatjockey 02-26-2005, 08:51 AM delo 400 full syn 05 40 w. i use it in car pickup, tractors, river boat. 15.00 per gal. delvac syn for diesels, about 23 bucks per gal.

Amsoil claims better protection than 40 with better mileage. 05 D/A 2500 03-01-2005, 09:36 PM Has anybody heard of LE Lubrication Engineers ? My buddy is a rep for them and is trying to get me to use it. It's a dyno oil but he "claims" it's better than a syn.:confused: hotrent1 03-01-2005, 09:50 PM Schaeffers Supreme 7000 Its a Moly thing hotrent1 03-01-2005, 09:51 PM i have heard of it. Oil is red, a auto shop buddy of mine is trying to get me to try it. He was amsoil man. cbmkr 03-02-2005, 04:17 PM Amsoil 5-30 hd diesel oil w/filter change every 9K. if you use a good filter you can double your oil life. Thinkmoto 03-02-2005, 07:39 PM just to add to the post but what filters are you guys running? oil and fuel per say...:confused: gonemax 03-02-2005, 08:19 PM redline 15/40 synthetic diesel 04wanabemax 03-02-2005, 09:52 PM Delvac 15/40 & Baldwin Filters sixday 03-02-2005, 10:29 PM Dello 400 from wallyworld:ro) Oilbrnr 03-02-2005, 10:42 PM Costco Delo 400. Worked fine in my Cummins for 150k+ per Blackstone Labs, and doesn't stink like Rotella. Cummin_Stroke_this_Dmax 03-03-2005, 09:52 PM what do you know about CenPeCo oil? I've been thinking about running it. And I use only Wix oil filters. Wheatfield83 03-03-2005, 11:42 PM what do you know about CenPeCo oil? I've been thinking about running it. And I use only Wix oil filters. It's supposed to be good stuff, more film strength, slicker, better resistance to high temps., more additives, etc....... Check out their website http://www.cenpeco.com/ and click on OILS. We have been using it in our loader, oil seems to stay clearer longer. Gonna get a sample tested pretty soon. Later, Wheatfield. Dura-Mack 03-04-2005, 07:39 PM Mack Truck's Bulldog EO-N Premium Plus 15w40. It's formulated specially for their EGR engines. Good enough for the Bulldog and good enough for my Duramax. Oilbrnr 03-04-2005, 09:05 PM Mack's building engines now? Cummin_Stroke_this_Dmax 03-05-2005, 01:10 AM Mack's building engines now? They have for a long time. They build almost everything on their own. Frames, engines, trannies, rearends, etc. You can get them with the other equipment, Eaton, etc. but primarily they do all their own stuff. Harold 03-05-2005, 01:46 AM :rolleyes: Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme 5W-40 Synthetic. It is the Synthetic recomended for Cat, Volvo, Detroit Diesel, and Cummings...... So.... I use it in my DuraMax...2004 LLY... Love it....!!! Dmax Tim 03-05-2005, 07:03 AM Mack's building engines now? And I thought they were Renault ):h My mistake. | ||
