Well lets face it about oil and filters everyone has an opinion about them and we can agree to disagree about them. I think there are 4 companies in the US that make oil filters and they make them for everyone. Oil, Well its about the same way.
Now lets be honest, JD IH Case Ford New Holland White Oliver MF AC AGCO Dodge Ford Chevy well crap all of them don't make there own Oil or Filters, They buy them from someone that makes them to there specks. How many times over the last 30 years have there been new API oil ratings been changed to meet new engine and emission standards? How tight have the tollerances changed in the last 30 years? And I simply to god love it when someone say 15/40 Rotella is the BEST OIL FOR ANY DIESEL ENGINE!!!!!!! WELL IT AINT! Sorry I do not agree. And the same goes for filters. I have been changing oil and filters on my stuff for over 35 years and in that time I have NEVER lost an engine or had to do a rebuild or had filters go bad. The only time I have seen filters go bad is because there was contamenated or very dirty oil or fuel being pumped threw them. I know a guy who bought a truck with a 6-71 Detroit diesel in it with 300,000 miles+ on it. Had big plans for it and he changed the oil and filters. Everyone told him to run 15/40 rotella in it so that's what he did. Ran good for 15 min and it started to rev up on its own to the point it ran away till it locked up tight! Well you know why.
Anyway I am not going bash any ones Oil filters or Oil choice its up to you what you use not me and its your money not mine. I will say this, New engine new style oils. Old engine Old style oils. Simple enough. Oh by the way I have tried Rotella in my trucks and tractors and to tell the truth they don't hold oil pressure after there warmed up and a 96 7.3 simply to god will not run right using it, And that's all I will say about that.
I don't tell anyone what oil or filters to use, That's up to you. Its your money not mine so do as you will. Just don't call me names or beat me up because I don't agree with what you think because you know it all. We can simply agree to disagree, OK? Bandit
