Onan Oil

Recommended Posts

I'd have to run a lot more miles at slightly better MPG than I do to make up the difference in cost between synthetic vs 15w40  Rotella.

Wow!

Remember oil changes per engine manufacturers specs are based on BOTH miles and TIME (annual).

Also, when was the last time you heard (twitter doesn't count) of a HD diesel failure due to oil-related issue???

I absolutely use synthetic oil in my gasoline powered vehicles.  But, not in my HD diesels (either Caterpillar or Cummins).

Yeah, the Detroit DD13 has a 35,000 mile service interval.

Five, not a synthetic oil change but a lighter weight would also help. Discuss with your local Freightliner dealer, just might benefit you.

Apparently you have a gas generator. However, if it's a diesel, AMSOIL has a 15W-40 that I use in my generator and it meets the requirements of Onan. It provides 4 times the protection required by Onan and is designed for extended oil changes.
