I run oil from Lubrication Engineers. Was turned on to their products by a customer that has run their products for nearly 40 years in his farm equuipment as well as in his heavy equipment without ever having a lubrication related failure.

We rebuilt a 3306 CAT engine for him a few years back that had a hole worn in the liner due to electrolosis in the water jacket. Since it"s last rebuild the engnine had been in service nearly day, 8 to 10 hours plus a day, for 12 years plus in an excavator digging and loading pit gravel. There was absolutely no wear on either the rod or the main bearings. Dad worked at the CAT dealership in "specilization" at one time building their engines and said he had never seen an engine with that many hours and absolutely no bearing wear. It made enough difference in the friction in the Detroit in my service truck that I can get can "cold starts" out of it, without plugging it in, nearly ten degrees colder than I could with Rotella.

Finally convince another customer to try their other products, gearcase oils, greases, etc. The gearbox oils exteneded the service life of a set of bearings that had been problematic before as well as allowed them to cut their greasing intervals in half and then some on another piece of equipment.
Their not "cheap" outright but for what you get and the life expectancy of the products the extra life more than makes up for the "extra" price. Their web site is linked below, check them out. And NO, I"m not a dealer or distributor, and don"t get kickbacks for refferals.....
