Welp what we use is what the ORG was required . Up till I H got pricky and changed , on the gassers we ran the 30 weight low ash , on the OLD diesels we ran the #1 in 30 weight year round . Now the other night i have bee tryen to find some 30 weight for my Cub cadet and not one qt can be had anyplace around here . And the old Kholer also requires a 30 weight LOW ASH . Well after digging i found that Shell has a T 1 oil that is a low ash in 30 weight . Now back when i had my semi and it being a 77 with one of the last NTC 350 before the big cam came out for 78 and by the advice of a close friend who was the service manager for the Local Cummins branch Bobby told me on my eninge to run NOTHING but the straight series three in 30 weight now had it been the BIG cam verson then you go with the 15-40 . The 1066 that i sold my one friend WAY back like 30 years ago we have never been into that engine other then to adjust the valves do the pump and install the 3 LS turbo and it had run on the #1 Diesel in 30 weigh since with no engine problems and the WICK is turned way up on it alng with a bigger head on the pump . Myself i don't buy into this ONE OIL FOR ALL THINGS DEAl . Being a Mechanic i see things most never see and with playen the lets go fast i have seen the carnage of not the right oil for the job . The I H newer gas engines built from the late 50's to the mid seventys the wrong oil loved to eat exhaust valves due to ash deposit . You look at the mains and rods on the same stye engine one ran one kind of oil over about the same time as one that ran what it was suppose to have ya see the ware in the bearings and sleeve ware . With the onset of our new Jeep i have had to switch oil and go with what the factory says as the engine and oil were designed around each other . So yep i have a verity of oils for different apps . It's oe thing to work on customers STUFF and get PAID to do it then it is when our working on your own and NOT getting paid to do it and your digging into your pocket to do so . Usen the correct oil and fuel is a lot cheaper then doing the fixen .

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
