    Baldwin Oil Filter

    We use hundreds of Baldwin filters a year in a mixed use fleet. They make a good filter. MPG is "Maximum Performance Glass," usually in the Allison replacement filters. I've cut open every truck filter available and only genuine CAT filters are better made.

    M1Delvac 5w-40 worth it vs Shell 5w-40?

    I'm thinking it's because the target market is heavy duty diesel.

    Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5W40 (CJ-4)

    Here's a little insight concerning the TBN: Quote: "Hello and great hearing from you. I am assuming that the TBN test method used below is ASTM D4739. If so then the TBN is right on spec. Keep in mind that D4739 is used oil TBN and as such is typically 1 to 2 TBN numbers lower than ASTM D 2896...

    Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5W40 (CJ-4)

    Cr was 0. Can't figure out how to edit??? Looks like I waited too long...darn. So with additive numbers like that the TBN suprised me a bit.

    Oil Viscosity, Powerstroke 6.0

    I feel your pain. Leaking injectors are wiping out even the best oils. I have a fairly large fleet of school buses and 18 of my 2007 International's with '06 emission DT466's are leaking fuel into the oil as well. I'm running Delvac1 after the factory fill Rotella 15W40. These buses have...

    3208 Cat gillnet boat

    I see you're in Salem. Up in the Seattle market, NC Marine does a huge amount of marine repower work including 3208's. There's got to be someone in Portland I'd bet.

    Interesting...I'm in the middle of recieving an 18 school bus order from the IC plant in Tulsa OK. The factory fill in these DT466E buses is: RotellaT 15W-40, Rotella ELC, and Transynd. Soon to get a Delvac1 transfusion! Are those Ontario trucks big class 8's? Tom

    $3,000 for a '83 Chevy Chevette Scooter?

    OMG! I had a '79 Scooter. I even tried that graphite oil in it once. Made quite a mess all over the valve cover. Who made that crap anyway?

    What oils do they use in big trucks and construction equipment?

    We were a long time 15-40 Delvac1300 Super mixed gas and diesel school district fleet. We made the leap in '04 to Delvac1. About 300 vehicles: Trucks, vans, cars, lawn equipment, and school buses. Mostly a CAT-diesel/Chevrolet-gas fleet with John Deere grounds equipment and some odds and ends...

    2004 Dodge Cummins - 185,000 total 15,000 on oil - Delvac 1300 15w-40 - Antifreeze?

    MO is definately in Delvac 1300, and 10 would show depletion. Is this 1300? When I see coolant in my fleet I'll have high Na from my inhibitor, then a corrosponding rise in viscosity, and eventually positive glycol. I guess I'd want to know what coolant he was running. If it's ELC w/K, I would...
