    Oil recommendations in 230
    Post by ih200 on Jul 21, 2006, 10:11pm

    Am just curious what weight of oil I should use in the 715? I was thinking 30wt or maybe some 15w40 rotella. I know everyone has there favorite brand, but I just need to know what weight to use.

    Nothing special, just use what works in your climate. The dash plates give the spec, I wanna say straight 30 wt., but that's from back in the day before multi weight oils were around.

    I used 20W-50 when I changed my oil in February...the truck cranked real slow with that in it...but now is fine. When I change the oil again come October, I will use something like 10W-30 for winter driving. That 20W-50 is like glue in the cold...
    If I had straight 30W I would also use that in spring and summer...

    Lube order specs 30w when temp over 40* - 10w when 40* down to -10* and some special stuff below that.

    10w-30 would have you covered.
