Oil Change

I found a deal in Dallas area on Kendall 5-30 Euro GT-1. It meets all MS-11106 and ACEA3 SA requirements. The price was great , $53.00 for 12 quart case. I'll update this when I do the oil change.

No, I don't work for Kendall.

any ideas on big box stores with this type of oil available?

No sorry I don't know of any. I order my oil & filter from IDPARTS.com.

So can you share with us where you got such a Great deal on this oil!

Amazon was the best price I've found online. Sometime the local places will have a special.

Rotella T6 Full Synthetic was $21.99 per gallon the last time I priced it at Walmart....

I think everyone is taking the Rotella T6 recommendation a little too seriously, FCA is in bed with SOPUS, Shell Oil Products United States, which happens to own the Pennzoil brand and obviously the shell branded oils. As long as it's a synthetic, preferably the 5w-40 diesel engine oil flavor, then I'd say it's good to go.

So, Rotella T6 5-40W is now approved for our Ecodiesel?

 

[Brady]

yes

They are supposedly rated for B20 Biodiesel too. Anyone have any experience running this??

 

[Brady]

No experience with Bio diesel. But would think I'd be careful as it can gel at much higher temps then it's full blooded diesel counterpart.

Usually stations that sell Bio sell a B20 blend in the warm months and B5 in the winter due to the gelling issues. I'd be tempted to run it if I could get it local, keeps fuel system really clean and provides a little extra lubricity compared to regular fuel

Really wondering how it affects mileage.

Lower energy content=lower mileage

What I thought. Like E85 for gassers. Just cheaper.

 

[bobcat67]

Bio is usually more expensive though, it's odd how the diesel world works

Awwwwwww crap.

I've ran B20 once, because that's all the truck stop had at the pumps.. No issues.

Jeff, how'd the mileage turn out, if you checked it....

I did not, but that was over a year ago and I don't recall it being any drastic differences (better or worse).
