Brett - The 5W40 Mobil Delvac ESP 1 is the only oil MAN specifically says meets their requirements. I’m supposed Performance Diesel didn’t say that. I don’t have the guts to try something else! Even if it is $40 a gallon. Is the Kirkland full synthetic?
Carter,
My communication with Lucas at Performance Diesel was from 2014. At that time he provided a link (now broken) to the approved lubricants on the MAN website for my engines. As you can imagine, the majority of the oils on the list were European brands that are not available in the US. Based on your comment, I am guessing that your engines have different requirements than mine. My engines are the D2848LE403's (800HP Mechanical) and they do not require synthetic.
