I use Schaeffer Supreme 7000, 10w-40. Please spare me the lecture about the
grade. This is a paraffin blended
synthetic and it has been running in my 6V92 1985 PT-40 for 12 years. It has logged about 80,000 miles on it and
went from a gallon a thousand miles to a gallon in 2500 miles. I have the oil tested and there are nearly
zero wear metals in it. The oil is
emerald green, slimy and smells funny but it runs in my .3 liter Ford, Honda bike
and the Bus. Positive comments welcome

I went down to my local NAPA and they had several cases of Rotella T 40W in stock. There are a lot of tractors and old trucks in these mountains. Otherwise, you have to have someone at a parts house order it.

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.
