6v92 oil question ??

[Frank @ TX]

I went to pick up some motor oil ( CF-2 ).
But what they had is : CF  MTU Type 2 ).
Is that the same as CF-2 ??
I can get it in straight 40 weight, but I'm not familar with the "MTU Type 2" info.
Thanks for any help.

Frank simple terms means that it flows good in cold weather for less engine wear on cold startups same oil as cf-2.forgot to tell you its recommend for MTU engines also

[Frank @ TX]

Thanks for the info.
I just could not find a defination for those terms.
The oil is: Mobil Delvac #1640 , CF MTU-Type 2 , 40 weight
I'm glad it will work in the 6V92 because the local lube distrubitor has and can get this oil.
I went to the Mobil site and didn't find the defination.

Thanks

Frank, before you and I get hammered and someone reads the old spec on the 1600 oil it had a ash content of 1.4 but not any longer less than 1% same 40w oil as DD dealers sell with the DD label

Chevron Delo 100 40 weight was the oil that was designed for the 2 stroker Detroits.  That's what I use, perhaps it would be a good idea to keep with what works and not guess on another oil?  Good Luck, TomC

Delvac is DDA's private lable brand name.  IIRC, the straight 40wt is the same as Exxon/Mobile XD-3 Monograde, which meets DDA's specs for the two-strokes.

FWIW & HTH. . .

Russ,Delvac is a Mobil trade name not DD FWIW always has been

Where does Rotella 40wt stack up with the rest for detroits?

[jackhartjr]

Cody, the ash content is higher than recommended.
Give me a little bit, I'll get that web-site info to you that explains ash content and the different oils.

Cody, your Rotella T 40 is fine its under the spec .97 ash for Rotella. DD spec are under 1%

[Frank @ TX]

OK guys
I didn't like that the distrubitor doesn't know his elbow from a hole in the ground.
I went to Phillips "Super HD II , 40wt, the distrubitor is very good and knows his stuff.
It actually has CF-2 on the label, and lists DD 2 strokes.
The Phillips dealer says he always has a good supply fo this oil , so ther is where I'm going.
I got 18 one gallon jugs for less than three 5 gallon pails of the other oil. 
I AM HAPPY.   

Thanks for your help.

Carry extra as you can't find the CF-2 40# on the road anymore. We had a leaky injector this summer and limped it home with 2 oil changes and Lucas. From Cali to Denver not one truck stop had the 40#. Many of the old repair shops have some, so I've been told. It's getting hard to find.

I've tried a couple of jugs of Walmart Tech 2000 CF-2 40 weight, but couldn't find any ash content on the labels. (I don't know if this is available in the US, but I've found it in every Walmart I've been to in Canada). Does anyone know what the ash content of this oil is?

I think I paid $8 and change for the 4 liter jug; the 20 liter pail is priced around $35, so this might not be a bad option if it's a suitable oil.

Delo 100 was not the original DD spec oil.

RPM Delo was the original until new formulations in the 70's replaced it with Delo 100.

FWIW

Dallas finally some one old enough to remember the oil for DD before Delo 100 hit the market for the 149 series in the mid 60s and now i read where RPM can be used again for two strokes. sorry about the age comment but i can remember #1 fuel at truck stops
