what kind of oil

[speedmetal6.6]

Hey guys I usually run rotella but I seemed to break it down fast so I switched to chevron delo it seems to break down fast too what should I use or is it because I'm driving like an ass( it might be hard to change that habit )Give some suggestions (thanks)

John Deere 15w-40 plus50. I use it because it holds up to 2340 rpm at full power load while hitting power bulge under normal operating conditions all day long. A jd 9870sts has a 13.5 litre engine putting out just over 500 hp and the oil holds up to over 100 hours of use at full power. I have never seen a failed/bad oilScan out of it either. And its cheap

Been running the amsoil for 8k now. Seems ok. Maybe I should send in a sample.



FYI: Blackstone labs (google it) will send you a free test kit and also keep track of your results when you send it in everytime. Think the test runs about 20 bucks.

Amsoil it won't break down like the others thats one of the big reasons to use synthetics.

Amsoil or royal purple have ran both with good results. Going to try a bypass filter on the 08 when I get it.

x5 for John Deere+50

I switched to it after an oil discussion on here. The JD+50 is thicker than the Rotella, I saw a slight rise in oil psi and a slight decrease in the amount the pressure will fluctuate. Plus it is a CI rated mineral oil and for convenience it comes in a 2.5gal jug.

Heres what I run In our diesels:
My Truck: Valvoline VR-1 RACE 50w and FS-2500 Bypass and i love it!

JD 770: Amsoil 12TBN 30w, Runs hard all summer long! and some winter use

Mercedes: Mobil Delvac 15w40, too old and worn for syn, so Good dino oil for it, my DD

84 & 89 Ford IDI's: Castrol Tection Extra 15w40, They dont get used much so no need for Delvac and castrol is good stuff


***I'd run Amsoil/Schaffers in the D-max but it dilutes the oil to much so it would cost a fortune to run on that oil and the VR-1 holds up to serious abuse and dilution!***
