    Posted: 17 Oct 2018 at 6:11pm
Our F2 has the 433 in it,turbo only. I changed oil and filter today and dumped 15w/40 Shell Rotella oil in it like we have done since we've owned it because that's what the original owner said he ran in it(we are the 2'nd owners). I was browsing in the operators manual for an unrelated querry and stumbled on the oil selection page and found that only a variation of 30 w is required, NOT 15/40 !! Please tell me this won't be an issue??  Thanks

They want 0W-20 in my car. Synthetic only. Reading a little closer in the manual they go on to say that 5W-30 can be used. In most cases you can go up or down one weight. FWIW I have my oil changed at a Ford dealer where they use 5W-20. I have no problem with that.

30 wt is way to thick for the winter startup and just average for summer use.. A GOOD 15 w 40 DIESEL oil will be great.. The 15 is thin enough for good starting and initial lube when the motor is cold... and the 40 wt on the top end gives great lube and high oil pressures when the motor is hot and loaded during summer usage... MANY AC diesels are now running 15w 40 DIESEL oil.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I run 15w40 in my 860 cotton stripper, as did the previous owner. It has the 2800 engine, though, which I don't think is too much different than you 433T, aside from being 6 cylinder. It's going on 43 years and runs great with great oil pressure. 
I'd wager my uncles run that oil in their 880 cotton strippers as well. (433I engine).

I use 15w-40 in all of diesel engines. That is the way dad did it and everyone else around here does also.

I think starting around 1983 Allis started recommending 15w40 in the manuals.

They were slow to approve a new type of oil versus the "old standbys"

That said, I would be more concerned about the Rotella. I have never had much luck with it, seems to be thinner when hot, and burns more.

More like 1977 A-C was using 15W-40 from the Factory in all their engines in tractors and combines.  I can think of at least six tractors (6080's) that got 9,000 hrs on them before overhaul was needed and all of them used 15W-40 oil.

Not to question you but, in the desire to learn where did the info on what weight oil the factory was using for factory fill in 1977 come from? To the best of my recollection we always used Shell Rotila 30W in every engine that was shipped from Harvey, IL while I was employed (1968 thru 1979) there.

I remember a sticker being applied to the left side frame giving that information. The Owners manuals hadn't been brought up to date on the 15W-40 oil change spec because that required a "reprinting" of each particular tractor model book. They felt the oil viscosity spec change needed to be gotten to the Dealers and the new tractor Owners ASAP.   The combines?? I'm a little fuzzy on that, but one would assume if the tractors had 15W-40 the Combine Division would also?  And maybe there was a similar sticker on the valve cover.....??

Yeah, Doc. AC was hesitant at first to adopt the multi viscosity oil, but quickly came on board with pushing the 15-40 for example when everything improved with its use after they started testing the oil the suppliers were providing to the parts dept....

No engine left Harvey with any kind of a sticker or decal dealing with what kind of oil is in it. It's quite possiable that once the tractor was built and shipped to a dealer the dealer made an oil change and added a decal/sticker advising the change in oil. That could explain the different mounting locations for the decal/sticker.

Makes sense to me seeing that I left AC at the end of December 1979.

Well, that's nice to know that since 1980 I've been doing it all wrong. !5W-40 is a Multi-Viscosity oil specifically made for DIESEL ENGINES and the only oil of that type at that time that I am aware of. I've never seen this decal/sticker you are referring to, and I worked for A-C in 1980 and 81.  Is there any chance this sticker was trying to make reference to not using multi-viscosity oils made for a car/gasoline engines??  because that would be true.

I run 15w40 rotella in my Allis diesels, no problem what so ever. Not sure why you guys are thinking 15w40 is bad for them.

If you look in AGCOs parts book for the 8000 series that decal is in the decal section. Page 176 for the 8030.

Shell Rotella 15w40 does not meet specs for DD 2-71. Ash content to high. Also does not meet requirement for IH 706 gas engines and is probably not good for older Allis gas or diesel engines. CIH specifically sells there Akcela low ash oils for their older engines. Also zinc content is low for older engines. Newer oils are blended for newer engines and bearing technologies have changed.

Back in the day,DDA recommended straight 30wt in the two strokes.Later 40wt.No multigrades. I think all multi's are too high in ash content.

Detroit Diesel (2-stroke) is an entirely different animal from any other diesel. What you say is true, but irrelevant to the topic.

Shell makes a T1 product in straight 30 and 40w that is recommended by them for DD and "other older diesel engines" ( their words not mine) The removal of lead from gas and sulphur from diesel fuel is also a problem for older gas and diesel engines. You work those engines hard like they were at one time and it I contend it is a problem. IH 706 and 806 gas engines had definate problem burning valves with high ash oil.Most modern oils don't spec out very well in those categories and also have low zinc content. Much of that is driven by pollution control by gov., not necessarily the quality of a lubricant.
