I have gotten good response so far so I thought I would ask for opinions on crankcase oil. I have a MF FE35 with a Perkins three cylinder diesel. What type of oil should I use? I have been told any good oil, and also use a diesel type oil. Thanks, C. T.

Thanks to all, I have always believed that using the right oil was fairly cheap insurance.

Mobil Delvac, Shell Rotella T, Texaco Ursa, Exxon HDX, and Drydene are all good oils and it should be based on local availibility that you have. The weight or viscosity of the oil would depend on the climate that you are in, but 15-40 is good everywhere except extreme cold and extreme hot.

My Massey dealership recommends Mobil Delvac 1300 15w40 on their new diesel tractors. This is rated for severe service. Dave T

I woul not use any oil other than one recommended for the diesel engine. I personally use Chevron Delo. This is approved by all diesel engine manufacturers. Any quality oil for diesel service should be fine. Diesels do have different requirements than gas engines.
