DA lubricant company???

[jerre310]

I work at a dealership for a forlift brand which is starting to market their own branded oil. It is from the DA Lubricant Co. Their 10w-30 is API CI-4, CH-4, CG-4 SL. It is to be used in their gas/LP, and diesel engine forklifts, construction equipment. Now the price, dealer cost $1.17 qt. We also need to figure the shipping which is a skid price. Shipping should add about 15-20 cents a quart.

Other prices for this oil, 15w-40 Gal. $4.54, 5Gal pail AW Hyd.ISO 46 $17.41, ATF Dextron III $1.17 qt.

Any problems here?

What are you asking? Any problems with what?

It's only SL rated? Now that SN oils are coming could this be used in newer vehicles. I feel it can not be much of an oil at $1.17 a quart.

SL rated oils were approved for vehicles made before 2005 (or 2006?). I would have no problem using an SL rated oil if my vehicle was from that era.
I would use a conservative OCI of no more than 5K because many of these 'no name' oils just (barely) meet the spec.

This oil is to be used in new 2011 forklifts, LP Tier 4 engines.
