Howdy guys, picked up a new toy, well it's used but new to me.
Full load, including dvd for the kids.
Factory fill is Mobil 1 0w40 as I'm sure many of you know already, but I don't have access to any Mobil 1 locally, it's big bucks to bring in. I/we use Chevron on site, but many of the syn oils listed on chevorn's web site aren't available in Canada.
5w20, 10w30, European 5w40 to list a few.
I have most if not all mineral based oils available, 5w20 (using that in fleet Fords, great value for service) right through 10w40. I would like to use the Delo synthetic, specs listed below. I can get Amsoil, Havoline, Castrol, Napa, Chevron, Penzoil, but Chevron is my bulk lubricant, I can get it substancially cheaper than any other brands, usually 2-3 times cheaper, even by the barrel volumes, so if I can I'd really like to stay with them for complete lubricant application, much like all my fleet is already.
Filters, will be Donaldson or Wix. I also just installed a AFE stage II intake, dry filter with a rated 99.4% efficiency, so I'm confident of low contamination.
So what do you guys think, I shouldn't worry about cat contamination? I have sensors after the cats, if I didn't they would be gone
I'm tempted to do mineral, I change every 3,000 miles, so dirty/dusty up here, almost seems to be a waste of money, but I still have warranty, and that's another issue, will I be void running a diesel oil. In the owners manual it shows warm weather usage allows a 5w40, but not a diesel oil. Some are running 15w50, maybe in the summer....... now I'm rambling.
Thanks in advance!!
Mike.
APPLICATIONS
Chevron Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-40 is a mixedfleet
motor oil recommended for all naturally aspirated
and turbocharged four-stroke diesel engines and fourstroke
gasoline engines in which the API CJ-4 or API
SM service categories and SAE 5W-40 viscosity grades
are recommended. It is formulated for engines
operating under severe service and a wide range of
climatic conditions.
Chevron Delo 400 LE Synthetic SAE 5W-40 is excellent
for use in new advanced engines developed to meet
2007 emissions standards and in engines equipped
with features like; four-valve heads, super-charging,
turbo-charging, direct injection, shorter piston crowns,
higher power density, intercooling, full electronic
management of fuel and emissions systems, exhaust
gas recirculation, and exhaust particulate filters.
It is formulated for superior performance with all fuels,
including low sulfur and ultra low sulfur diesel fuels.
This product is recommended for use in older engines,
as well as in today’s most modern low emission
designs.
This product is recommended for use in Caterpillar
engines in off-highway or construction applications
which require an API CJ-4 Service Category after
January 1, 2007.
