The transmission is the only original part left in the drive train and never been rebuilt, shifts like butter too!!

When I talked to the rep a few times all I hear about is the border patrol OCI. I’m sure it has its place like you said but certainly not on this trailer.

I was told recently that red and tacky was fantastic til about 3-5 years ago when they made a change to the formula. Any input??

On a fresh oil change? 40 quarts between the crank case and filters

I’m sorry I don’t understand what you’re asking

That’s ok but thanks for the reply

Would the ISO32 have better lubrication properties then the atf?

Oh then the local dealer gave me wrong info, how does ISO32 relate to ATF? Would they function about the same?

I have a 2007 XL brand lowboy trailer, I need hydraulic fluid suggestions I just rebuilt all the hydraulic system, new seals in all the cylinders, new hoses, new filter. The reservoir is empty as well. Anyways the manufacturer suggestion is ISO32 hydraulic oil but I’m afraid it will have bad...

That oil interval was 17k yes. But has been on Kendall DXA 250k miles give or take

No no. The engine has 300k on it, I put the odometer reading in for the mileage so I know when it was taken. Less guess work. But the old engine had 1.9 million on it when I pulled it out still running.

What is HPL? I don’t like oil I have to mail order. I have considered trying Texas refineries 15w40 but only because they have a warehouse local to me. Other options are the normal, Chevron, rotella, Mobil, gulf, Phillips/kendall. You get the idea lol.

I spoke to Phillips 66 about this today, they want a virgin oil sample and a used oil sample sent to them and then a used sample sent to Polaris. My concern with switching is that I’ve been told that changing oil can increase wear on internals cause of the difference in oils. Any truth to that...

Don’t taste the oil ✅

You must be with glockner or Lyden, I see you’re Ohio based and they’re the 2 in Ohio that I know to be the largest distributor

Are you familiar with the odor I’m talking about though. That’s strange that there is no change yet it doesn’t smell the same.

I know what you’re saying. People on here tend to follow blends and such so I thought maybe someone had input. I don’t think allergies are affecting it though lol, it’s a noticeable stench year round even after the oil change you will smell it from the breathing if the engine. It smells like no...

I honestly have no idea how to tell in any other ways if the oil has dilution, every test I have done has shown little to no fuel present, I don’t idle the truck, it doesn’t make oil. Short of setting it on fire to check for fuel dilution what else if there? Blackstone has shown no dilution...

Yes Polaris labs did the test. It was recommended by this forum to use them. I forget what the test is called though but there was no fuel dilution present.

What is VM? Only oils I’ve tried in this engine are Kendall super DXA and Phillips 66 guardol non synthetic during the break in period. These have been the results for the last 300k with this engine. Open to suggestions though cause other shops around me using this oil don’t have these results...
