Motor Oil
Noticed the local Cenex farm supply carries oil that meets the Detroit
specifications for the 92 series motors. Anyone have experience with this oil? http://www.cenex.com/Downloads/Superlube518.pdf Troy Waconia, MN 1986 Newell DD8V92 |

Hi Troy, Sorry it has taken so long for me to send this response, but we are full-timer that work in volunteer situations. We have been traveling for the last two months. Before retiring I was in the Lubricant Division of CHS (Cenex) as one of two Tech Service Answer Guys. I spent 43 years with two companies as a petroleum chemist. That being said I can say with confidence that Cenex SuperLube 518 40 wt meets all DD single-grade requirements. DD V71, V92 and 149 series 2 cycle engines call for 40 wt in summer and 30 wt for winter use. Any single-grade oil meeting API Service Classification CD-2 will meet DD requirements. We have a 1989 Wanderlodge with an 8V92 engine that has had SL 518 since 3 years ago when we purchased it. We only recently at about 10K on the oil had it changed and now has Mobil Delo 40 in it because we were in Austin, TX where no Cenex dealers are. When we returned to Minneapolis in early May I bought a 5 gal case of SL 518 and filled my bulk oiler. I change oil every 10K miles and do oil analysis each time. Our engine has about 135-140K miles and I expect it will go to at least 250-500K before rebuild. I hope this answers your questions. If you wish to talk further please fell free to email me: towandadroppings@....
