Hi Bob Lawrence I know Desesrt West Coach Service works on many DD 6V & 8V coaches. You might call over there and see who their supplier is. Desert West Coach...
I think Desert West told me last year that they use Rotella, but I'm not sure. I just checked my invoice and it just calls for 28 quarts of 40WT. Don Bradner ...
Don Come to think of it , you are most likely correct. But on the other hand,good oil is good oil. Fred & Jeanne Hulse Morristown Arizona 1997 Wanderlodge...
while i'm not brand sensitive some engines are! don't ask me why,but some engines prefer a certain type/brand of oil. I've had engines,gas and diesel that...
Changed from Delo 15/40 to straight 30. The multi-weight blew through the engine to the tune of 2 qt's in 400 miles. Changed the oil in the pan, left the new...

Bruce, The website I went to said January 16th, 2008. Keep your checkbook handy. Deeds are more important than words. Let's hope they live up to the hype. ...
Oil seems to be a subject of much controversy and myth. When we bought our SP (3208 CAT) I inquired about using synthetic oil since I use it in all our cars....

There is actually little, if any difference, between an "HD" antenna and a "regular" antenna. Radio waves are radio waves. Indeed, the replacement 'flying...
Thanks so much for your interest in the 2009. I am sorry that you were disappointed in us, several weeks back we decided that the best way to show the coach...
Macy; Nice to see you still monitor this site. You can make up for that error by allowing me to use/road test the 2009 for 365 days. I will forgive you!!! ...
Pete, Great write up. I wish that manufacturers could learn to answer questions the way you and a number of other forum members do. One of my 'faults' is ...
Hi Jim I agree with you. Oil in a Cat is good, clean and does its job for 3000 miles. I know, because I do and see it. I don't know what happens to the oil's...
I think that the color of oil and how fast it turns black in diesel engines has a lot to do with the amount of blow by around the piston rings, especially when...
Mike, Any particular recommendations here? I paid a good deal of money to pickup a few cases of Delo 100 40wt. Had to have it special ordered from a local oil...
John you are absolutely right. Every body treats his engine different, and Trucckers are always moving, never sitting still. So i found my niche at 3000 miles....
