One oil!

[Lawless]

We have 6 different tractor makes. All different ages from new to old. We have part used oil drums everywhere all different stuff. Is it possible to get one engine oil and one backend oil that will do them all?

Maybe,depending on what you have

 

[Lawless]

Do oil companies have reps that come out and go through the service manuals to see what can be done?

 

[davidroberts30]

What machines and what age?

 

[MrNoo]

We always used to just have AgriCastrol, went in everything, engines, back ends the lot that and a drum of hydraulic oil. Job done. Oh the good old days

Talk to Neil at Witham Oils.

They went through all our machines and sent us a list of all the recommended oils for every machine with a recommendation of which minimum ones to stock.

Fantastic service from Witham. We have 400 litre tanks for bulk Engine, Back end oil and Hydraulic oil. They come round and top them up when needed - when over 1/2 empty put in 200 litres. They do quite a few of the own brand oils.

As above, most companies will be able to sell you a product that matches the manufacturers specified oil but it's a bit specialist and you do need to know what you are doing or enlist the help of someone who does. I know Shell certainly used to have an online system that would tell you which oil of theirs you needed if you told it the make, model and serial number of a machine. People like Witham and Opie oils (mostly cars or it used to be last time I checked) might do the same thing.

So if you run a International and it has it’s specific oil in the backend, you go and borrow or use multiple trailers, tip them numerous times, etc then what’s gonna be in it at the end!..???

Go in to most oil manufacturers website and they have a lube advisor to see what oils you need
