Another oil question I'm curious what the jury thinks of this oil. The company I am contracted to has changed oils and is now using this in their company trucks. I know it's Delo, which should be a thumbs up. But, it is a 10w-30, which I know is a thumbs down. ![]() I know being a 10w-30 oil and talking about it is blasphemy around here, but figured I'd ask the jury. I can get it for under $8 a gallon, which is the cheapest oil around. I know pinching pennies is silly when it comes to my engine, because I'll probably end up paying more in the end. But I have to ask. I figured with the 10w-30 maybe use two gallons of gear oil in the summer and one gallon in the winter. I only run in the northeast, so I deal with your typical 80-90 degree day in the summer and your below 0 in the winter. Another idea I was also thinking maybe run Rotella 15w-40 (with gear oil) in the summer and this (with gear oil) in the winter? I change the oil every 12,500 miles, which for me is about once a month. They are also using this for gear oil. ![]() Does this have the "good stuff" to use in my engine? Or just keep it in the rear diffs? And this for transmission oil. ![]() Once again, good to use in the transmission? I saw a list once around the internet that showed the approved oils in a eaton-fuller trans. But I have yet to find it again. I have a FRO-16210C transmission.
