"ve said it on here before (( but since very few people have ever heard of the brand and since it"s about twice the price of any of the other oils it"s usually ignored or I"m accused of being a rep for the company)) The best oils and greases on the market are made by Lubrication Engineers. I"ve seen their greases used in machines where the majority of other common brands had already been tried and discarded because they wouldn"t stay put. Not only did the grease stay where it was suposed to but because of that fact the greasing intervals were able to be cut by more than half in most cases.
As far as the oils I replaced the Rotella I used to run with their engine oil in my service truck (Series 50 Detroit). With the same weight Rotella (15w-40) I was hard pressed to get it to turn over fast enough to start below 40 degrees without the block heater. With the LE oil I have started it at 25 degrees with no heater. I"ve seen it used in a 3306 CAT engine for 12 years. When the engine was rebuilt due to an electrolosis problem (hole in the liner) there was absolutely no ridge at the top of the bores and the mains and rods all measured out to standard. Dad built engines for CAT before going in for himself and said he has never seen an engine with that many known hours come back with all standard parts. I"ve also got a customer who was going through turbos on an air compresssor unit about once every 9 to 12 months due to the speed the engine idled at. After putting in the LE it wasn"t uncommon to go over two years before having to replace a turbo. This problem was routine on three different compressor units with the same engine so it wasn"t a once in a lifetime type deal, the results were tried and true.
I've been up the mountain in Dad's service truck with an Allison automatic with a common automatic transmission fluid in it and watched as the needle creapt up into the yellow halfway to the top. I've also been up the same hill after it was changed out to the LE oil and the temp guage never got got out of the green and in fact never even got close to the yellow.
I have also seen the my customer with the compressors start using their compressor oil and watched as the operating temps on them begin to run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than it had with the origional oil he had been running.
I could go on with other examples of what I have personally seen their products do and the amount of money it has saved my customers when they decided to buy really good oil for a change. That said here"s a link to their web site and I"ll stop here and let you decide for yourself.......

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
