Ran a grease/service truck for a number of years for the heavy equipment in the mining industry, after many tests,trials and much propaganda from salesmen,and oil company repersentatives, we found that if we bought oil by the specs and not the color,or name on the can,(bought it in bulk any way) we filled the 200+ gallon tanks on the service trucks with the requested spec oil and then we took oil analysis samples on a regular basis, and as we changed it by the oil sample lab reccomendations, it made very little difference whose name was on the oil as long as it was in spec. The lesson I learned is this; (1) look at the viscosity number,(2) then look at the API index specification, (3) then look at the price, (4) then if you are still not satisfied look at the brand name. Don't think there are actually but just a refiners actually producing most all of the brands of oil,they get a spec sheet and bid on it to package it under a name, they will bottle it for you if you buy it in a big enough quanity. This was my experience in actual field work, mining with Cat,JohnDeere,IH,Komatsu,Dresser,Ford,Mack Gmc, Dodge,Detroit Diesels, Deutz, Bucyrus Erie, and even Lima Drag lines. The equipment wasn't choosy about what brand you fed it if it was good quality stuff. Gene
