Hi everyone, pizza tower
I’m in the process of selecting a lubricant for my fleet of heavy-duty trucks and would appreciate some expert advice. Specifically, I’m trying to determine the best type of lubricant for maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity in harsh operating conditions.
Here are my questions:
Lubricant Specifications:
- What are the key specifications I should look for in a lubricant for heavy-duty truck engines? For example, are there specific API or SAE ratings that are particularly important?
Performance in Extreme Conditions:
- How do different lubricants perform under extreme temperatures and heavy loads? Are there certain formulations that offer better protection in high-temperature or high-load situations?
Synthetic vs. Conventional Oils:
- Is there a significant advantage to using synthetic oils over conventional ones for heavy-duty trucks? If so, what are the benefits in terms of performance and maintenance?
Brand Recommendations:
- Are there any brands or products that are highly recommended by professionals in the industry for their reliability and performance?
Maintenance and Cost Considerations:
- How does the choice of lubricant impact long-term maintenance costs? Are there any cost-effective options that don’t compromise on quality?
I’m looking for advice from those with experience in truck maintenance and lubrication. Your insights will help ensure that I make an informed decision for the best care of my fleet.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Best,
