Hey All,
I'm getting ready to start up my 1HDT swap after an engine refresh and am unsure of what oil is the most appropriate in the US. BEBs were replaced etc so I'd like two give them the best chance at a long-isn life. Lol.
I've read some pretty old threads (most 10yrs old or more) on here and have heard a bunch of opinions from Aussies and Europeans (as markets of origin for these trucks). I know these things were designed for an oil using calcium based detergents.
Any updates on what to use? Are we rolling Full Synth? Rotella, Amsoil, Delo, Royal Purple? 15w-40 or 20w-50? Change interval 5000mi, 7000mi?
