I've been using the napa fleet diesel, or valvolene diesel 15/40 ( same oil maybee? ) in my ford 5000 and NH 7610s and also change the fluid/filters regularly. IE.. sometimes 2x a year...

I have noticed a considerable drop in soot in the oil when i change.. IE.. the oil is keeping the soot suspened and the filter is removing it well. both of these tractors came to me with stereotypical 'coal black' oil.. and I know that at least , the 7610s was well maintained, because the prev owner had the local CNH dealer maintain it for the year it was owned by him, before i bought it. ( IE.. only 1 prev owner.. as he bought it new ).

Pennzoil 30wt is the only oil my Super M-TA's have ever had in them.

Use to run Pennzoil 20w20 in my '69 Chevelle.
Cub Cadet 1200 has had nothing but Pennzoil 30wt in it.

'81 Bow Tie, 204,000 miles. Only Pennzoil and Quaker State used in it.

Just bought 3 cases of 10w30 and 1 case of 30wt Pennzoil that was on sale ! third party image

I get my oil at the local NAPA. It is the NAPA brand, but they told me that it is Valvoline.

Same thing they told me. Looking at the bottle, the 'supplier' address is the very same.. so I'll bet it is a good gamble it at least comes out of the same refinery plant. etc. Even if the adds are slightly different.. should be same 'good' base oil stock anyway..

When my 2001 dually was new it used a bit of oil. Went back to the dealer and was informed that Chevrolet designed it to consume a little oil, which was a bit disappointing to me to say the least. At that time I was using Mobil 5w-30, but suddenly Mobil was no longer easily obtainable, so I switched to the NAPA brand, and surprisingly the oil consumption problems just vanished.

Interesting. While I'm not a huge fan of gm, after owning my wifes yukon for the past 6ys.. her's is the same way.. Occasionally my wife forgets to tell me it is due for an oil change, and she will go to a texaco quick lube by the house.. every time she does, the oil lamp comes on right near the next time for an oil change.. I use napa oil in her yukon when i change it, and it never uses oil on those changes.. only the texaco changes. I'm almost wondering if they are shorting her a half quart? I se ethat extra quart upcharge on her bill... hmm? texaco oil or short oil?
