I am about to change the oil for the first time on my own, so I wanted to poll the group about a couple of items.
I would be interested to know;
(1) What type oil you are using
(2) Where you get it from
(3) What type container (gallon jug, 5 gallon bucket or 55 gal drum)
(4) How you handle getting it into the engine (air pump, manual pump, pour it in the valve cover, etc.)
I am currenly using Chevron Delo 100 40wt in gallon jugs, but I was quoted these prices;
12/1-qt $8.31 per gallon
55 gallon drum $7.80 per gallon
5 gallon pail $8.49 per gallon
6/1 gallon jugs $8.35 per gallon
Looked high to me, but this oil is not near as common as Delo 400 (the multi viscosity oil the Series 60’s use) and you get this blank stare most of the time when you ask for it.
Any thoughts?
