Shady,
It's a diesel. You bring up a good point about the right oil. I have been using Castrol GT or GTX in my 755 since new. I recall in the beginning the oil was dual rated for both gasolene and diesel engines. It no longer is. To be honest, I have not looked that close at the label nor have I looked for diesel rated oils. I'm not sure how available they are.
I end up changing my oil every 50 to 80 hours in the spring/summer/fall cycle and 15 to 30 hours in the winter cycle. I think frequent oil changes help minimize the impact of using a non-diesel rated oil. I hope /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I am interested in what others are using.
