3208 on the road

[Jerry]

Howard, there is a very good technical article on oil recommendations on
Detroit Diesel's web site. You'll have to look for it as I have lost the
specific link but I would highly recommend that all DD folks download, read
and save it.

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.
