Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Current jug of Wal Mart Super Tech 15W40 specs - as promised about 2 weeks ago. I don't really know anything about oil specs but 15W40 is what I have always used and it says it meets CAT ECF-3 specification so that sounds good to me. The sample reports always come back clean and I can't find anything cheaper. Sometimes other store brands have it as cheap as Wal Mart but you have to get it in 5 gallon buckets. Wal Mart being in 1 gallon jugs is more convenient and much quicker to change oil than with the 5 gallon buckets.

 

Here is the oil report I promised. 2018 Pete 567 dump truck with MX-13 . Lab sample 0319 (bottom one) is with factory 10W-30, others are with 15W-40. Notice how much more additive of phosphorus, zinc and calcium additive is in 15W-40. Always see high levels of aluminum and potassium on first sample or when change CAC replaced because of the flux the use when they weld them. @daf105paccar I also attached oil analysis guidelines for you!

 

interesting that we end this topic about market share in tippers quite soon....

 

My recent oil sample report came back good. It shows previous ones did too. I don't really look too close at the levels of anything suspended in the oil. Couldn't tell you what the Soot or Iron level typically is but I can go back thru all the reports and see if I wanted to. I just always look for the "no action required" and call it good if that's what it says.

 

This one is maybe easier to see. Wal Mart Super Tech is good stuff. There's really no need to waste your money on Mobile 1 or other higher priced name brands. Although I am a fan of Nascar and do appreciate Mobil 1's sponsorship of Stewart-Haas Racing

 

Holy ####!!!!

 

In USA they haul 10 cars all day long ....

 

Any idea how much weight there allowed...?

 

We can be 21m or 61ft overall. Height is 4.00m plus 5cm tollerance. That is about 13ft 3inch. If they go higher they can load more but than you have fines.

Uk example 11 bmw 3 series

 

As far as I know it is different for the provinces. It may have changed in recent years, but I doubt it.

Some provinces allow axle lift or load biasing in a tandem, others allow limited load biasing, other don't allow it at all.
