Good to know thanks very much. Now I’m trying to figure out what oil I will use. The only specs I see are to use a motor oil with the cc,cd specs but I don’t even see that specification on any current oils. I want a full synthetic and also want what’s best.
this is my first diesel ever so I’m way out of my league.
Any currently made quality diesel oil will be fine.
I use Kubota brand in my 2501, and have used Shell Rotella in my diesel trucks for 20+ years.
If I woke up tomorrow and all the Kubota oil had disappeared, I would not hesitate to use Rotella in the General Lee.
Edit: Also, since this is your first diesel, when you check your oil after a few hours of running, it will be as black as can be. Don't sweat it, its normal, diesels turn the oil black in no time at all.
