Thanks for the replies guys. I was not sure about the Motul 7100 because of it being an Ester base oil as I know nothing about about Ester Oil other than a lot of Motorcycles use it.

My Hustler mower has twin Hydro Gear 2800 drive units that call for 20W50 motor oil.I have 2 gal of Motul 7100 20W50 but it says it is an ESTER Synthetic. I have no idle what this Ester stuff means so help me out. Can this be used in the Hydro Gear units. The Motorcycle is gone so I need to use...

Thanks guys,I was just wondering if something had been found to do a better job then the HOAT G-05 as I don't see much talk about it on the Forum. I see talk about the OAT G-05 but not about the HOAT. Jerry

Thanks for all the replies. A little more info, I have done a couple of UOA and Blackstone says the engine is doing great with the 15/40 so I was just a little afraid of trying to fix something that wasn't broke. The engine does run cleaner then a lot of 6.7s as it has been deleted since new...

I'm a new member so be easy OK Had a friend selling his truck and he had 6 gal of Rotella T6 to get rid of so I gave him $50 for it. I've never run Synthetic. Never saw the benefit when I trade at about 100000 miles.So for the question I pull a 14000 lb 5th wheel about 6000 miles a year and...
