Hi all,
I would like a discussion about Allison C3 approved oil for use in a Volvo loader transmission, particularly about 15w40 engine oils vs like an ATF. If I understand correctly, the TES 439 is the newest standard which covers the C3 approval. What are the pros/cons of using engine oil vs an ATF, (other than only needing 1 oil on the shelf). This is a high hour transmission if that makes any difference.
I was thinking of just going with Rottella t4 or Mobil Delvac, unless somebody gives me a good reason not to.
thanks
