Which engine oil to use?
Geplaatst: wo 23 nov 2022 21:31
Hello there!
I have recently acquired this lovely DAF and I don´t know which engine oil to use.
Lot of people told me that I should use M6A (SAE 30, API SB, no additives), because if I use, for example, modern 15W40, which obviously has detergents in it, the oil passages would clog and the engine would seize.
In my country there´s also available the M6AD (same as M6A but it has additives) and M7ADS III 15W40 (API SG/CF-4).
On the other side lot of you were recomending 15W40 or 20W50 and I also found that original OMD-110 oil is SAE 30, API SE, MIL-L-2104D, it also appears to have additives like detergents and such.
I´m really confused right know.
I would also like to run the truck in winter and in summer on "highways", which means hotter eviroment, so the oil would get thinner.
Could someone point me the right way, please?
