Shell Rotella T fills the crankcases of many a diesel around the world (OTR, farm, who knows what else) and has for many years....as have others like
Delo, Delvac and other labels. 15w-40 is popular because of the wide temperature applicability. I've used it in both places mentioned. Can't say what it
did. Just what didn't happen.....had zero engine problems. I use the full synthetic 5W-40 in my newer tractors. Again, no engine problems of any kind.
I use Power Services products in my diesel fuel....same story....no engine problems of any kind.

Ideally you would continue with the same brand and viscosity oil that is currently in the engine, so as to avoid any potential additive reactions. Barring that, the next best option is to use whatever is recommended in the owner's manual, which you can purchase at your closest CaseIH dealer, or at any number of places online. Regardless of the outcome of this thread, I highly recommend you get an owner's manual if you don't already have one.
Before you waffle on the cost of certain oils, how much money did you spend on the tractor? What is an engine overhaul going to cost? By comparison, the cost of even the most expensive engine oil is minor. Take care of your investment. Don't cheap out on the most important part.
That said, I would expect the factory recommended oil to be CaseIH 15W-40 diesel oil.

I had a 79 dodge power wagon that I bought used from a guy that used non detergent oil from the day of it's first oil change. With no real thought I just changed the oil from then on with regular detergent oil which was the norm for the period. 30k on the engine and by 38k I had lost the cam and almost every bearing in that engine. Expensive lesson.
I've tried to make sure to know what was used previously and to replace it only when I knew what was compatible.
Lot's of good advice here from these fella's
I'm not stuck to a brand but won't replace an oil brand unless I know that is compatible for sure. Will occasionally change viscosity for temperature differentials.
Texasmark1 says it well;
Can't say what it did. Just what didn't happen.
That's the result I hope for.

Grampa ....... I wonder why the guy would have used non-detergent oil on a modern
vehicle? Seems like a strange thing to do, even then I would think non-detergent oil
was not readily available. Interesting post .....

You probably loosened up years of slug and gunk and plugged up oil passages.
I have torn town a few engines that used non-detergent oil and they were full of slug that had to be scrapped off with a putty knife.
The top of the heads, oil pan and valve covers were coated with slug.
After they were cleaned up they got detergent oil and they are still running clean and fine.

Bought the truck in 1981 from a guy his family owned a lot of older diesel equipment 40's used Non detergent as fleet oil and swore by it. It was available rarely on the shelf but they bought it in drums for their shop from a distributor. I have tell you he did tell me what he'd been using and should use it too!
The only reason I knew what happened Buddy of mine who worked for a oil supplier took a sample and had it tested. I believe if I remember correctly it was Atlantic All-Fleet. I had believed it oil pump failure at the time, but my buddy was helping rebuild and offered to test it for me. My change to detergent oil started cleaning and plugged oil passages.
I wasn't smart enough to know what the difference was. Young and dumb.
Positive side It was a 360 added 340 heads, intake, carb from a wrecked barracuda and some headers and duals, she was sweet runner after that! I think I replaced the clutch not long after that.

Hi Castle Farms, Mid Wales UK, welcome to YT,very scenic country. About 10 years ago drove from Cardiff to Bangor thru Wales.
My brother has 5 of those IH/CaseIH Doncaster UK with German Neuss Diesels and he has always used Shell Rotella T 15W-40 in summer
and 5W-30 in the winter. Some of his tractors have well over 10,000 hours and still running fine.
