3208 on the road

[Eric Johnson]

Hello Howard,
I'm no expert on specific engine applications. My recommendation would be to
use the
weight and type recommended by the engine manufacturer. I noticed that Harvey
Lawrence has a document about lube oil in the "Files" section. In that article
he says you
should only use a single weight oil in a Detroit Diesel due to the type of
engine it is. I
assume he based that on manufacturer recommendation. Harvey also makes some
excellent points about the formulation and function of lube oil in his article.
