    HD Synthetic Transmission & Rear Diff Fluid ?

    You can find all of Eatons approved oils at the following link. I don't see Cam II on the list. http://www.roadranger.com/ecm/groups/public/@pub/@roadranger/documents/content/rr_tcmt-0020.pdf

    Is Rotella T Syn a True Synthetic or Not?

    Does anyone know if Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 would be the proper oil for this application. Looks like it to me from the attached spec sheet. http://www.shell-lubricants.com/products/pdf/HELIX%20ULTRA.PDF

    Can I mix grease and gear oil?

    I personally don't think the Lithium grease is the correct choice for this application.

    xd-3 40w cf2 good for anything

    Don't think it will work in you bike. I'd check the specs in the owners manual.

    scheaffers or AMSOIL

    I'd use Rotella T 5w40 syn. Same performance you can get it at Wally World or most truck stops and I believe it costs less.

    Amsoil UOA Report

    While I'm not a fan of using Synthetics in Engines or extending drain intevals (oil is cheap) I have to say that I think you need more data before you condemn the oil in this situation. What was the Vis of the oil, what was your TAN and TBN..

    Diesel fuel. US, vs UK

    I was just told by an oil company that they are adding Lubricity additives to S15 fuels at the rack and there should be no difference from the fuels you are using now....

    Lube experts needed

    Are you sure this is correct. That doesn't make sense that you would burn three gallons of oil every 8000 miles that means at 24000 miles you would have basically changed your hole system out. Why have a system like that when you can run 35000 plus miles on conventional hd motor oils without...

    Lube experts needed

    How far do you want to extend your drains? How long are you planning on keeping the truck? What is your percent idle time.

    Timken OK Load is a qualitative measure that indicates the possible performance of extreme pressure additives (EP Additives) in a lubricating grease or oil. The units of measure are pounds-force or kilograms-force and are determined using a special test machine. The test machine is based on a...

    Mobil 15w40 Delvac

    I see your point, I was just not sure if the chemisty between the two are different. I have always been told its ok to top off and that the products are compatable but the oil companys make the products how the OEM's want them and trying to modify them actually takes away from performance rather...

    15w40 Oil Comparision?

    Ford and International have partnered to form what is called Blue Diamond dealerships. They have also partnered with Shell for a motor oil offering for these dealerships. I would agree that all light duty diesels are probably filled with Motorcraft but anything larger than that weather its...

    Mobil 15w40 Delvac

    You know there are other semi sythetics on the market. I think Shell has a couple but not sure maybe a 10W40. I would be a little nervous mixing a true group 5 baseoil and a group 2 base oil motor oil because of the additive chemistry in each. It probably works for you but I don't think any oil...

    shell or delo?

    Very interesting data. Guess I'm kind of suprised that Mobil had 8% of their samples come back with high vis. That leads me to believe that they are not very good at disbursing soot. Also very suprised at Chevron low vis samples hitting 10%. Looks like 10% of all Delo users are probably using a...

    Mobil 15w40 Delvac

    I was just wondering why you would think you would get something better by blending your own oil? I have been told that its not that simple and blending could lead to problems....

    Timken OK load test. What is it?

    Cat likes to see 5% Moly for there equipment. This grease should be fine for your application. The tricky part in buying Semi Synthetics is finding out how much synthetic they actually put in it and are you truely getting your moneys worth? I personally like calcium sulfanate greases for...
