Title: Recommended Oils?
Post by: jmblake on January 16, 2016, 02:17:01 PM
What oil should I run in my Series 50? Is Rottella 15/40 good? What about antifreeze? should I get detroit antifreeze? Also what about the Allison B400 fluid? Just want to start rounding everything up so I have it when we need it.
Thanks Jason

Series 50-15/40 Rotella is fine. Detroit suggested anti-freeze-typically the pink stuff. Allison should run Castrol Transynd synthetic trans oil-although expensive. Good luck, TomC
