[QUOTE="Mustang Guy, post: 123189, member: 13485"] Having worked in a major truck manufacturer's R&D shop I can honestly say that they don't always recommend or use the best suitable products. I have also been involved in lube oil testing and selection with Caterpillar and EMD engines (Before they were the same). Keeping technical specifications ambiguous creates brand dependence and loyalty, and that increases sales and profits. Example: Does Bobcat state that their oils meet or exceeds SAE, ISO VG, DIN, or ASTM specifications? Become quasi-educated with this short read: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/29715/hydraulic-engine-oils[/URL] [/QUOTE]
