Detroits have no glow plugs and "off the shelf" no starting assist.
They are ENTIRELY dependant on engine compression to start. They
also require (not recommend, REQUIRE) straight weight strength required
by the injector followers - you WILL destroy cams
if you run a 15W40 in them,

I'm also changing oil tomorrow. I've been using 15-40 Rotello. Please advise.

Leroy every DD person I have checked with told me to use only 40W oil with a
rating of CH2. Two brands which fit the bill and have a low ash content are
Rotella and Delo 100. I believe Curt Sprenger has a link to the Petroleum
Page that explains it all. Curt I've misplaced or lost my link to that page
so if you could repost it I'd appreciate it.

I've been using synthetic 15-40 oil in detroit's for 14 years now. I
would NEVER go back. I know a number of owner's that have made the
switch and all are pleased. A number of plus's to it, reduced oil
consumption, reduced smoke, plus the big advantage of extra engine
protection. I;ve talked to the Detroit tech's that go to the fmca
rally's and all agree there are big plus's to using the synthetic's.
They also agree that if you use a multi-weight oil, it MUST be a
synthetic. Work's for me...Bob 93pt Illinois

Me also. Use syn. diesel marine because the PO used it.Did oil analisys at
Blackstone was excelent wearing engine?I worry about it after reading these post
from alot of tec's that should know but have not gone to the straight
weight.Marvin SkaggsBuffalo, Ky. 427161984 PT40--- On Thu 11/16, Bob & Carol

Leroy,
I changed my oil to 40 weight Rotella just before the RIV/RATS Ralley. I could
not find it at any of the discount stores had to go to the Shell Distributor to
purchase it.
