When I owned my own equipment I liked using Sheaffers oil. Better oil samples and I don’t think I can prove it (in a for sure scientific way) but I picked up a little fuel mileage replacing engine , trans , diffs with there brand oils fully synthetic oils that is. Google it I think they only sell through independent dealers.

Can also find at Amazon
I bought schaeffer through a rep for awhile until payment options became an issue. He sent oil, I sent payment immediately upon receipt of oil. Then he started wanting payment with credit card. Still calls wanting to sell oil. Now I find online and hit send button. Works as well or better?Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Delvac @ Wally World. Always on a roll back, $10.50 or so, a gallon. Filters from Freightliner Dealer, .preferably Detroit Fiters, sometimes cheaper than Fleetguard. And Lucas grease. It’s worth a couple xtra bucks.

Also are you putting in 47 quarts or 41 quarts? 4 quarts to a gallon, meaning 47 quarts = 11.75 gallons? 11 galons and 3 quartsRideandrepair Thanks this. -
15w40, pretty much Industry standard. They also have Rotella, and Delo. It’s the same oil, just different additives.I usually go 20k, , but since I had some sludge issues, and recently had an OH, I’m going back to 15k, Might be better choices for you, especially with extended intervals, and synthetic options. I had been using a lot of Lucas, up to 3-4 gallons between changes. Before that though, I never had a sludge issue. However I’ve heard, and do believe that Rotella will keep an engine cleaner, they claim Delvac has silicone type additives, that put a film on everything. I don’t know. Old way was Rotella for Cats, and Delvac for Detroit’s. So I stick with that. Hasn’t failed Me yet.Always a head gasket or dropped liner. Never oil related.
