Re: Oil Change DD6V92
Reply #14 –
Very first thing I did when we picked up our 1990 GV is change ALL the fluids. That includes the generator. Coolant, tranny, oil. Killer of DD's is heat and oil troubles. Will be at the barn tomorrow and get you all the numbers for all the filters including trans and water filters. ( yes water filter, sometimes known as Perry filters they help coolant systems with corrosion problems). Delo 100 low ash from O eilys is the way to go. Know it's some cash but you then know everything is set and good to go. I roll with a full set of filters, belts and 9 gallons of oil. I can find a shop that can do the work but it's nice to have everything I need to make it happen. Air filter as well. Do yourself a favor and get a Donaldson air filter. They have twice the media as cheaper brands. You have a turbo ramming air thru a supercharger so lot's of cubic feet of air going thru the system. Will get you the numbers and post them. Just got back from 5 week trip, 3400 miles. Burned 1 gallon of oil, thrilled about that. Keep the motor cool and check the oil level every morning before you roll and that motor will last a long time.
