I don't mean to ruffle any feathers, but I all ways ask questions. I know that the engines of today have very tight tolerances and the old engines were much looser than today's engines. I ask questions for many reasons, But I do have 3 diesels form 1963, 1967 and 1976 all under 3000 hours. The 1976 was built in Europe and is very low hour-ed and Rotela 40-W is to thin for it. I changed the oil to the Rotela and it ran for 20 min and the oil pressure went from 45 psi down to 20 psi, shut it off left it sit for a day and tried it again same thing. Drained it out and put in Exon XD-40 started it up and 45 psi and ran it about 7 hours disking in 84 degree day and was still holding about 38 psi at the end of the day. There are differences in oil from brand to brand, but I know from experience some older diesels need that old style heavy oil to keep them running. The diesels have block heaters and they sit over the winter and I use the gas tractors when needed. I still like to ask questions to you guys out there to learn new things. Who says you cant teach an old dog a new thing or too. Bandit
