Thanks Malcolm I find your argument for modern Diesel engine oils makes a lot of sense. I was a big fan of Shell Rotela when I had my trucking company, I still use it today in the remaining tractors I have as well as my M813 5ton. Now since there is no drain on the oil sump tank, I guess several oil changes will be necessary to remove all the old oil. I know the meteor has two filters one on each scavenger pump, keeping these clean in the advent of the sludge beginning to creep through the system will be essential
