Is there an article or link on here I can read up on for the breakdown of the sds? I can compare numbers to other brands, but I'd like to know what I'm comparing.

The local oil company has their own brand of oil they sell, proguard, I find little information about it. Their sales guy has been offering it to me, because it's house brand of course, but whenever I read any data sheets a lot of the areas for testing says "data not available." I don't see that...

Chevron's 1800 tech line. Local sales guy said drain and fill. I don't need to be burning up rears and a transmission over a couple hundred dollars in oil.

I currently run Chevron esi 80w90 in all my gear boxes. I'm thinking of going to a full synthetic, maybe a 75w-90 or 75w-140. I spoke to Chevron about this oil and was told by their tech cause it contains a special additive package including boron, he wouldn't elaborate stating it's proprietary...

I don't think that I have ever been ridiculed so much by such a group of arrogant people. Ridiculed for my lack of post count, and said I'm either well restrained or don't visit much. On the contrary, I do read a bit on here, I could offer my .02 worth an then be called a troll cause I'm...

I've been doing some price shopping and thinking about making a change for engine oils and lubricants. I'm currently using chevron for everything, but its starting to get to darn expensive. I'm paying anywhere from 14-16.00 a gallon for 15w40, by the case, or roughly 12.00 a gallon for a 55...

I would add... I rebuilt a buddies 60 series last summer, has 100k on it now. When I built the engine I filled it with Chevron 15w40 and Donaldson filters. My buddy has since changed to I believe fleetguard filters and 15w40 schaffers oil. Now, I have not seen or heard this engine in at least...

To revive an old thread. I don't see this oil iNE Ohio until a couple years back. A local gas station/service station is selling their products. We used the 80w-90 in a rearend and shipped it to Finland. Last I knew it was still going.

I'll look into the Valvoline stuff. I'm also going to check out the truck stop next time I'm there and just make sure I'm catching all the brands. Not to start a fued, but Every engine we have built and talking to some friends at a Detroit diesel dealership, they all have an excessive...

It's not so much the convenience, I think of emergency situations. I carry a couple gallons with me, always do my own services, but in an emergency can I get the oil on the road.

I'm going to be doing an out of frame rebuild on a 99 model engine. We will be balancing and blueprinting the engine. Everything new. I'm still learning about all these ratings, cj-4, ci-4 and so on. I'm wanting to make sure I'm running a top notch oil. My family has always run Chevron oil...
