In my Long 900(1975/6) I run Exxon XD-40 and a bottle of STP, My Case 930 and 2 Oliver 1550 diesels Wolfs Head 40w and a bottle of STP in each at oil changes. Been doing this for 10 years with no problems and hold good oil pressure on those long hot days. The Olivers and Case I was using 40w Pennsoil diesel but I cant get it any more so that's why we switched to Wolfs Head 40w and STP and it seams to be working good.
The Zeter dealer (the Long is a Zeter 8011) told me just run 15w40 Rotella when I first got it, I ran it 2 weeks before I changed the oil and held 45 lbs of oil pressure and ran good. I changed the oil to 15w40 Rotella like they said started it up it went to 35 lbs and in 5 min it dropped to 5 lbs and shut it off. Let it sit for 2 hours and tried it again and the same thing. Drained the oil refilled with the Exxon and it was good to go. Lesson learned the hard way. Oil aint like it use to be, That's for sure. Bandit
