Bottom line, oil change costs $30-$40 bucks. $30 bucks compared to a $40-50K rig is a no brainer. Those that prefer to take the risk, you keep running the oil. Those of you who prefer to take a proactive approach, change the oil/filter. Install a known filter product. Auto Mfg's do not install...

All oil oxidizes. Synthetic just takes a little longer than mineral oil to oxidize....

Ramblejam, I appreciate your response. The confusion still lies with the data plate information and the referenced lube in the manual, see above. The data plate references 90W - for tranny & running gears - equivalent Vg @ 40C is 150-220 cTs, not 55vg as Mobilith 424 - stated on website. It may...

As stated in the header of the post it is a 2005 Tytan model 324. Thank you for your time!

I am posting this for a friend. The data plate on his tractor states: Engine oil 15-40W, Tranny - 90W, Running gears 90W, Hyd 10W or AW46. The question, they believe the hydraulic and running gear share the same reservoir so which lube oil would he use in the hydraulics?? I am more involved on...

IMO, I would have a hard time believing drag/resistance from wheel brg grease causes loss of fuel efficiency, doesn't grease separate? Currently my boat trailer has oil bath brg's. I do believe oil bath brg's will extend the useful life of the brg vs. greased brg's. Grease retains particulate...

DTE 26 & MG 600 XP both have EP/anti wear additives. However, it is not too often you see a gearbox in the industry that has a AGMA of 2 (68 Vg), must be a very light load application. Unsure if you are switching fluids in the gearbox from Syn to MO or not. If so adequate purge is required and...

Regarding question #1 - Boron is at high risk for depletion due to water washing and rubbing contact. "Is the amount of the decrease in Boron compared to VOA levels of any use in determining when the oil is exhausted?" Absolutely - Increase the frequency of your oil changes. You may be...

I know this is an old thread but the patch (04/19/14) looks like rust particulate, Babbitt particulate and other ferrous mat'l. Did you notice a bathtub ring in the reservoir before you swabbed the unit? If this is a turbine, you may want to have a UC (Ultra centrifuge) test performed to...

First, I am a new member to this forum, most of my experience is on the industrial side. I look forward to expanding the knowledge base regarding gasoline engines, wear, lubrication & filtration. I have read some great posts and hope to contribute what I can. I am curious why there are no...

Regarding a '93 GMC Sierra 1500 w/305 c.i.d. 5 spd tranny, anyone know of the fluid specifications? Seems GMC changed fluid recommendation during this year but I cannot confirm which would be best for the tranny.
