Caterpillar Oil at Blain's

[Deplorable]

JD oil at least in the Midwest is blended by some company in Iowa. A driver I was talking to years ago while he was delivering bulk oil said he would go on a road trips there with a tanker to pick up oil for the bulk truck.

Check out the JD oil in the VOA section.

So you are confirming it is not made by John Deere... thanks!

Without analysis how does anyone know if it’s the same as Mobil Super. I assure you that the John Deere branded oil is not the same oil that you can get from any of the major refiners/packagers. Most in this thread sound like women at a beauty shop gossiping.

And you seem like the target market for the oil.

Not without seeing if there’s a difference.

We use thousands of gallons of this stuff a year at work in close to 600 pieces of earth moving equipment and class 8 trucks. We used to use delvac 1300 exclusively, purchased from a Cat dealer. We then switched to the “Cat” branded 15w40 as they could discount it further. According to our Caterpillar rep, the oil is exactly the same as delvac 1300, just rebottled.

Now we know.

I bet its marketed towards the same people that buy Caterpillar oil and fuel filters for their 1997 Powerstroke or Cummins.

Northland

I have used and sold tons of northland oil. Hydraulic, diesel, and gas, until we switched to viscosity.

It's a good oil for what it is. You just have to pay for the CAT label.

I stick to the Walmart version.

What were you using before you switched?

 

[97Sport]

We were using CNH and Northland, now we are a Viscosity dealer. Viscosity used to make the oil for CNH for about 50 years until they switched to Shell a couple years ago. Viscosity kept the patents/formulations for the CNH oil they were making, and its way cheaper than northland or CNH too.

I just ran across this. What do you think of this oil at Blain's in WI? Who is this for?
Are there really that many Cat machines out there for this to sell well?
Or do you think it's more for people that would put this in a pickup or small tractors?
$24.99 on shelf and online.

If Mercury can sell their own oil don't think cat can't.

Used it for several years in my JD 2520 and 820, 1970's era tractors. Now running Delvac 1300.
