Can I run valvoline Premium Blue Geo 15w-40 natural gas engine oil in my tractors diesel engine? The valvoline part # is 70521. My tractor is a New Holland 8970.
 
I wouldn't; the primary oil contamination byproduct in diesel is soot; Low probability a NG oil is adequately formulated to deal with it; just a guess
 
The answer is, does the oil carry the specification, approval or license your owner's manual lists?

If "Robroy" ever returns to the thread.
 
That's a big tractor. Ford 7.5 straight 6 diesel correct? Why would you use that oil when there are so many HDEO oils available. Ford seems to want 15w40, 10w30 and 5w30 based mostly on climate. I would use Valvoline 8600es or similar. Easier on the wallet and more correct for the equipment.

But I agree with kschachn, I don't think you will be back.
