What are you paying for oil, Does anyone like a brand or Manfg. co. , I found some at the zone for 40.00 for 5 gal. Called Costal Multrack, Does anyone use it, or recomend other places that are not to expensive. Thanks.
Coastal is made by Warren Unilube.......... its cheap in more ways then one. How much is it going to cost you to buy a quality oil vs. fixing your loader because you used a cheap oil?
Hi blitz138, I want good oil at an afforable price, 90 to 95.00 for 5 gal. seems high to me, It i can find the oil for half that price that is good, I'am not a rich guy and need to save where ever i can. There has been a lot of talk about Hyd. fluid prices but not so much on TO 4, I'll keep looking for now.
I just bought some for a service on my 955L. I bought some Chevron drivetrain 30 (TO-4 Spec) for around $65.00 for a 5 Gal. pale. I got it from my local oil supplier here in Roxboro, NC. I would stay away from the cheaper brands like Warren, Coastal, and Tech 2000 (Walmart brands). On the other hand, you won't catch me buying oil from the dealer. The way I look at dealer oil vs. name brand oil (Chevron, texaco, shell, valvoline, ect.) is like compairing Green Giant green beans and store brand green beans; they taste the same!!! As long as the oil is a name brand and meets the spec.; I am good with it. My dad use to tell me the samething about cutting cost on oils and filters; pay me now, or pay me later!!!
Thanks Mike, I'am still not ready to purchase the oil yet, i have a little more work to do before i purchase the oil, I will look for a brand name oil down here, 65.00 not to bad a price. Thanks, Sam.
I purchased some oil from NAPA auto parts store, 15 gal., It does say TO-4 and 30w, not to bad a price, 85.00 a bucket plus tax, and close to job.
Hello HEF, well i found the local Cat dealer TO-4 oil was about the same price as other places, i had though it would be a lot more. I wanted Cat oil to change the transmission. 5 gal. bucket, 96.27 and the gal. was 19.65, not including tax. Not to bad a price these days, sam.
