What type of oil do you use in your 914?
I do have the owner's manual but I am VERY curious to what most 914 owners use? does anyone use mobile 1 or synthetic? what kind? BTW: I did do a search and does not seem anyone else has asked this. if so I am sorry. teener luva |

I work in the farm diesel industry and was taught that Delo 400 and Rotella T were engineered for over-the-road diesel trucks. Those oils are loaded with sulfated ash to offset the sulfer in diesel fuel.
When used in gas powered tractors, we found a lot of torched valves. I'm not sure how they perform under high RPM's. Just an observation. CHAZT |

Just an observation. CHAZT Don't think you have it quite right, sulfated ash was a diesel combustion by-product that could plug exhaust gas particulate filters. Our engines don't have particulate filters and the oil additive packages have long changed. |
