Are there different kinds of oil for Diesel engines? Are there current different classifications for oil for diesel?
I have an International 986 and a John Deere 925 front end mower, a bigger commercial lawn mower, both with diesel engines. Do these both take the same oil for diesel engines? Do I need to look for a specific API spec for oil for my tractor? For my mower?
The manual for the John Deere F925 calls for API CE or CD oil, which is an old spec by now. What's the equivalent (better) modern oil spec? Or is it all the same?
A local big box store has Mobil Delvac HDEO 15W-40 for Diesel engines, says it's for heavy duty Diesel engines, meets API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, for $10 for a gallon. Would this work for either or both of my diesels?
Thank you!
