But the same oil company that bottled the store brand oil, also bottled about 3 other brands of oil that we carried, and countless others that we did not. Same thing, people didn't want the "inferior" oil. We also sold oil in our own bottles with the store brand on them. Of course, they had no problem buying the twice as expensive well known name brand filter right next to it, and guess who manufactured that filter for that company, and about 20-30 others? ![]() Never could get some people past the idea that they were inferior. Years ago, I worked at a large auto parts chain, and we sold what people thought was an inferior barnd of oil filter. Aside from that, NAPA does not make oil, they have it made by someone else, who undoubtedly makes it for a lot of other people as well. I think the only way you will get rid of all the moisture is to run the crawler and get the oil warm.Īs far the NAPA oil, I highly doubt that NAPA would want the resulting lawsuit, and bad publicity from selling a substandard. Valvoline Blue and it's got the low anti-wear package and I would not use it in a tractor. My local NAPA is having a 15W-40 diesel oil sale right now. Maybe Deere has a 15W-40"fits-all" oil now with the proper friction modifiers for wet-clutches. ![]() Both say nothing about using motor oil in the HL-R trans or steering clutches. In regard to your 455D? I have a 455E and a 450C manual. In 1984 -just about all diesel rated oils had better protection then those do now sold for on-road use. ![]() Off-road and racing oils still have the high level of protection, where-as many emissions-certified diesel oils sold at chain stores like NAPA do NOT. In general, oil has not gotten better by "leaps and bounds." Most over-the-counter motor oils have less anti-wear protection - not more then they did 5-40 years ago. Since 1984, oil quality has increased by leeps and bounds. For my 1984 John Deere 455D it reads in my owners manual to use 15W40 in the engine, transmission, hydraulic system and both steering clutches.
