In my superduty and Land Rover i use Rotella, Rotella T synthetic in my vette. But in the deuce i usually just use cheap heavy truck oil. What do you use in your deuce and what weight? do you switch to a different weight in the winter months?

Delo, 15-40, year round. If its cold, put enough heat on it till the oil will drip off the dip stick. I run it in everything. Deuce, John Deere tractors, Transport truck, Lexus, Toyota.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Which oil do you use?

Used to run Castrol Agri 15w-40 but then they went up in price from being a buck less a gallon than Rotella to being a dollar more. I'm running Rotella now...

I use a lot of Warren products elsewhere and have studied the specs on thier 15w40 enough to know that they list the same ones that are on the Castrol, Shell, and Mobile products so I am very tempted to make the switch as the $$ savings would be large.

I've been running Coastal 15W40 which might be packaged by Warrren. I can find no difference other than the $3.00 a gallon savings.

Coastal is Warren... and you have nailed the cost bit that I alluded to... :)
