Having had some replies to my post about ATF for my BW Velvet drives- I
am pondering the mysteries of oils specs--- there must be some simple
idiot proof answers - there are so many codes. I have a feeling I don't
need to know 90% of it!
What for instance is the difference between Dexron II and III?
MY Detroit Diesels recommend both Mil specs and API code with profuse
numbering - egg CC/SC or Supplement 1 SB then again certain non
multigrade synthetic oils are very good for them -- perhaps I shouldn't
just pop down to NAPA and pick up any old SAE40???
I must start checking for trans fatty acids, saturated fat percentage
etc?
Anybody studied this? However I must admit it doesn't sound too exciting
bedtime reading :-).
