Do you know what brand and part# full flow filter is on the engine? Also what brand by-pass filter is installed? We have a C7 and would love to know what your doing to get these great results!!!!

Alemite would be my first choice. Ive used there pistol grip for years without any problems. Bought a 14.4v gun about 4 years ago without any problems other than I had to buy a new battery. They are top notch IMHO. Lincoln would be my second choice. They are a fine produce as well. We've had a...

Also just looked in my manual and Cat C-15 Acert min oil psi is 15 psi. So I believe your oil pressure is not a concern. Oil volume is probably more important than oil pressure in this case.

I manage a fleet with 6 C-15's and we do regular oil samples with them. Your sample looks normal. Not sure what oil filter your running but these motors really do well with the Cat 1R1808 High Efficiency filter. I would loose the Lucas. With the quality oil's these days there is just no need to...

Its a Diesel site aftermarket external filter. I agree the ISO code is a little alarming but what would it look like with just the factory screen element? Its usage is 75% Highway and 25% towing 5,000lbs. I do have quite a few mods 7.3 PSD about 470hp 980lbs to the wheels. Transmission has a mod...

Its got a PLM alum. cover it adds 2qts. It came with magnetic drain plug for added saftey I added a magnetic plug to the level check plug. I think all is well too. I will probably run out to 30k the replace with a higher quality oil. Like schaffers of ams oil. This Shell Spirax smells like...

No def not going to tear apart. Ford calls for 75w140 in the single rear wheel which is a Sterling Diff. The dual rear wheels are a Dana 80 which calls for 75w90. Doesnt really make sense to me since the dual rear wheel truck would usually see more abuse. Ive thought about trying some 75w140...

SN I think according to the PDS.

These are my first trans samples not sure what it should look like but I think so far so good. Its does have a external filter 10 micron. What do you guys think? Thanks for the opinions

Im a little concerned with the high Iron with such little miles. I dont think the Shell Spirax is the best Syn oil but not sure I think its a GroupIII base. This is mainly used for highway use very little towing. What do you guys think? The silicon seems high Ive checked the breather and the...

What appears to be the main differance in these oils? Im trying to make a decision between the three for our fleet of dump trucks with Cat C-12,C-13,C-15. We generally only run 15,000mi service intervals. We can buy the Ursa for $6.84gal and Delo $9.74. All i can figure would be the base oils...

This appears to be a quality oil what do you guys think? We'll be using this oil in our fleet of Chevy 5.3 at work in the summer time My only questions are why they flagged some of the additaves

I usually like to post the actual report but my scanners acting up so ill type it out for ya Aluminum-0 Chromium-0 Iron-0 Copper-0 Lead-0 Tin-0 Moly-9 Nickel-0 Manganese-0 Silver-0 Titanium-0 Potassium-0 Boron-43 Silicon-8 sodium-2 Calcium-3234 Magnesium-42 Phosphorus-779 Zinc-1036 Barium-0...

I have heard that the CJ-4 is better suited for the ULSD that everyone sells now,and that the CI-4 was intened for the higher sulfer diesel that no longer available. Maybe someone with more knowledge could comment.

Yes the Cat TO fluids do have zinc around 1,000ppm. Not sure about the Roadranger 50w. We generally use the Shell Spirax Synthetic 50wt in our dump truck transmissions. But the Cat TO fluids are used for Final Drives 50wt and 30wt for transmissions in our Cat heavy equipment. I got some UOA on...
