I need advice on what to do and use next.
I just obtained my first Diesel for the farm & ranch. It's a Case 580K phase3 backhoe running the Cummins 4-cylinder with turbo, hour meter stuck at 3600hrs but engine runs great. Oil level is at top of add zone and very black. The PO didn't run it and knows little about it's history. Should I have the oil tested before I add more or just service it then do an analysis after xxxx Hours?
But what do I change it to. I've read it needs API CE 10w-30 but that's old specs and all the new oil types seem made for pickups with emission stuff have me confused.
Thanks
