40W Oil

[RWW]

I find my 40w oil at the local farm supply, Theisens. Apparently a lot of farm equipment uses 40w oil.

Years ago, my first experience with the local DD dealer ended before it began when they answered the question of what oil they had. They 'only' use 15/40. Looked at me like I was from Mars to suggest my DD only liked straight 40w. '15/40 will work just fine,' they said.... yeah right.

Leroy and I were talking about this over the weekend and we were wondering where are people able to find straight weight 40W oil for the 2 stroke diesels? The Mobil website does not even appear to list any straight weight diesel oils any more. I have not checked to see if Detroit Diesel dealers still carry their DD 'Power Stroke' branded oil (which was Mobil 1240). I saw no straight weight Rotella at my local Wally World over the weekend.



So what brands 40W are you folks seeing available right now?
