3 main hd oils are ... shell rotella , chevron delo, and mobile delvac.
all three are about equal in additive packages and specs for hd diesels and hd gas. these oils are great for everything except cars with catalytic converters becuause they have hd pressure and wear additives that will cling to hot metals and coat them to cut the friction and heat down. It is this excellent property that makes the cling to catylitic converters and render them usless.
so.. for tractors.. most of all that dont have catalytic converters, the hd diesel oils are perfect.
for extreame cold weather use in artic and snow, the 5w-40 hd oils are reccomended.
hd oils have anti moisture aditives, anti acid aditives, high pressure wear additives, cold start cling aditives, vicosity shearing additives, so this oil performs about a good as any oil you can buy. As said earlier, the oil is so good that it will attack a catilytic converter and coat it, so its a bit too good for some emissions type engines....

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
