Has anyone done any reserch on this stuff? I just bought some to add some to my 4240. Well, I bought a gallon for 23.00 its 10w30, and far cheaper than joe gibbs, the comp cams stuff is 5.25 a qt, and you have to ship it inn from summit, or someone. Im going to try this stuff on the 440 I have. John deere recomends 50-100 hrs on this oil depending on how hard the tractor is being used, and since mine is basically a loader tractor for moving bales, im going 100 hrs. It seems like decent stuff, has a lot of zink inn it, and it says right on the back "may be used to break in any rebuilt engine"
Has anyone on here used it? If it works on a my 140hp, 789 lb ft turbocharged diesel, then it should work in any race engine, or street engine I would think.

I have never heard of it. But then again i live in the city. Sounds cool, and i bet it will work just fine! What kind of oil are you supposed to run it after break in?

are those numbers correct? are tractor type diesels that far apart in hp and torque?

Yep, I use it on my engines. Worked for a Deere dealer for years, used it on all engine rebuilds. It has some outstanding specs. Don't have the specs in front of me, I'll see if i find them.

I don't know, it may be great oil but there's something that just doesn't seem right about using farm implement oil in my race engine.

Yep, and this tractor is only suposed to make 90-110 hp, but dad had a turbo kit from john deere put on it. I can make more, but the tractor really dosnt need it. The hp/torque comes inn at like 1200-1900 rpm, I think its all done at 2200 rpm. Its a 404 ci engine. Since I have gotten the tractor I have wanted the service history from his dealer there in torrington, but they havent gotten around to sending it to me. I think Im going to call them and have it faxed to me. I enjoy pulling in the local farm class, but they have certain spec requirements, and I need all his service history so Im not illegal, and not supposed to be in a heavier class. This reminded me to call them... Kasey

Yes it is. It's 12ppm Zinc. Was more but in the past year or so EPA screwed that up.

yes those motors are that far apart..my dump freightliner cummins motor is factory 280hp/1050tq, next yr it will be 350/1450 lol....gotta love the pull of a cummins
My N14 is 525hp@2100 rpm (peak is really closer to 1800 rpm) 1850ft/lbs@1200 rpm. The technical term in the old days was "fast torque rise"
That zinc spec I'm assuming was 1200ppm not 12ppm? 1200ppm last time I checked is just SLIGHTLY more than Rotella is at around 1100-1150ppm.

Paying $5+ a quart for break-in oil is a waste of $ IMO. Any good grade of 10-30 / 10-40 petroleum based oil with a zinc additive ( and there is lots to choose from ) will do just fine in almost all applications.
