Multigrade (weight) oils contain detergents that keep contaminants in suspension so the full flow oil filter can remove them. Old engines relied on the crud settling into the sump or some sort of screen. You should only use multigrade when you have a paper element filter.

I agree oil technology has made major advances especially in the past 20 years. That said oil certification/ratings still matters and is why the API has these ratings and to my knowledge there are no multi-weight oils with the CF-II certification/rating that is specified for 2-Stroke Detroit Diesels. Additionally advancements in engine oil went hand and hand with advancements in engine design and efficiency. That said the 71 series engine first roared to life in 1938 and production ended in 1995 or there abouts. The 92 series production was 1974 to 1995, the 110 series 1945-1965 and the 149 series 1967-1999. My point for the production run dates is to show that while engine oils have advanced the technology that designed and built these engines has not. Just look at the piston ring metallurgy, tension, and design of a modern diesel engine and that of a 2-stoke Detroit much less piston to cylinder clearance and main and rod bearing clearances and least we forget that 2-stroke engine is going to contaminate it’s engine oil with fuel and particulate matter much faster than any 4-stroke engine regardless of when it was designed and built. That said my experience with 2-stoke Detroits is limited to mostly to the 8v71 and the 8v92 and when I was first starting out as a mechanic many moons ago the company I was working for tried 14w40 oil three of their Detroit powered trucks and during the winter the trucks performed fine and their oil pressure and temperature were fine however once summer came around and temperatures were in the high 80 to mid 90’s oil pressure, temperature and coolant temperature as well as oil usage became at the very least concerning but after dumping the 15w40 and replacing it with Delo 100 40W those issues went away. All of my ramblings above said at the end of the day I will do what I will do and you can do what you want to do. Additionally my post was not meant to start a war of words but rather me expressing my personal opinion and experiences. Have a nice day and a better tomorrow.

I agree 100% with Matt's statements on engine oil, he's the expert in my book. I think the reason why people get upset about engine oil is because of stories like what happened with my grandfather's car - a 1954 Mercury. He always ran it with straight 30W oil, then one time a family member changed oil for him and used 10W30. It cleaned out the engine too much, and it never ran right after. I think it used a LOT of oil. After that he bought a brand new 1968 Ford pickup (for about $2500, we found the receipt after he passed away in 1979). But like it's been said, that was another time, and engines and oil technology have changed since then.

Even a cheap 10w40 15w40 diesel oil is miles better than the stuff they had even just 30-40 years ago. The european ACEA specification in particular has high quality standards because all the automakers there are obsessed with long life intervals like 20.000 miles or so and their additive packages and choice of base oil reflect that.

Quite correct about the multi-grade oil Matt, it was SAE30 many years ago when Detroit wrote the manuals and the early multi-grades made significant ash. I had another designed oil-burner to worry about and spent a while on the phone to various big name oil labs getting the story. It's not a problem now, 15W-40 in a Detroit is fine.

To my knowledge there are no multi grade engine oils that are CF-II certified/rated. That said Detroit is very specific about oil weight and ambient temperature in their TSB’s. I worked as a mechanic for a concrete company for a couple of years many moons ago and we ran multi grade engine oil in all of the Cummins and Mack engines but all of the trucks with 8v71’s and 8v92’s were feed Delo 100 30W in the winter and 40W in the summer. The company tried running 15w40 in three 8v71 trucks and they held respectable oil pressure and the coolant temperature never was a problem as long as the ambient temperature didn’t climb above 70 however once the ambient temperature rose above 80 we noticed the oil pressure and coolant temperatures increased above the trucks that were running Delo 100. The multi-weight oil experiment ended during July when the high temperature for the day were in the mid 90’s and all three trucks started having oil pressure issues that went away once we dumped the 15w40 and filled the engines with Delo 100 40w. Mind you I am not saying engine oil technology has not advanced since then because we all know they have but the engine technology for 2-Stroke Detroit Diesel engines have not and because of that I still firmly believe that straight weight CF-II certified/rated oil’s are the best choice for these engines. All that said you do what you think you should do and I will do what I think I should do

I hear you on the Multi-weight oil issue. But I have done some research. The problem is not the weight of the oil, but the use of detergents. Detergent in oil additives should make the oil 'creep' into tight places, and it also collects abrasive particles and carries them to the filter, extending engine life. Detroit Diesels have exhaust ports in the sleeves, where rings ride past them. The rings pick up carbon, as well as tar from unburned oil, and this combination helps create a seal to keep engine oil out of the combustion chamber. Multi-weight oils(especially newer ones) have additives to prevent the oil from creating gums or tars when mixed with carbon. The Detergent in multi-weight oil tries to scrub the gummy tar from the rings on a Detroit. When this tar is not present, the engine will consume oil... if it cannot burn it, it will blow it out the exhaust. I have run Detroit engines with multi-weight detergent oil when in a pinch. Without fail, within a few hours of heavy work, the exhaust will start to spit a rain of oil all over the machine. Replace the oil with 30w non-detergent, and it will be a few hours before it stops spitting oil. Maybe somebody else has some other explanation, but this is what I was taught, and what I experienced. The engines I experienced this with were all 53 series - a 3-53, a4-53, and a 6V-53, but I have seen it happen with sawmill engines on a 3-71 and a 6-71 as well as a 6-110, and an 8V-92.

One day I notice that the oil pressure was dropping. I took off one of the access hand hole covers and saw that the inside of the engine was spotlessly clean and the oil was a very filthy greyish black. i took off the pan and the oil pump pickup and cleaned them and never had another problem.

Matt, love your videos. I worked for GM in the 70s and the infamous Detroit "run away" can be caused by a number of factors, one of them being the engine filling up with fuel and pushing up past the rings making the engine take off no matter what you do. Keep up the great work.

My very first "heavy metal" was an old 68' model Allis-Chalmers track loader .It had a cummins 4cyl. Bought for $1000 ran but trans was out and so were the clutches. Changed all the fluids put on a couple high pressure hydraulic lines, put in a salvaged 6 speed and a couple of clutches and used it for about 6 years . Did a paint and decal freshen up. reupholstered the seat, and battery box lid. and sold it for 9,500. Then bought a Komatsu. Nothing like that old mechanical p-pump diesel.get it started and you needed NO electrical for it to keep going.

Watching you use that fuel line bending kit, reminds me of why we should mourn the passing of the independent spares guys. There was a little shop about two miles away from me who had about every bending kit that was ever made, he seemed to like it ! if you couldn’t get one made there …. those guys are all gone now. Unfortunately including the two brothers who did carburettors. They worked out of a house and must have had about every spare part and body ever made,and knew what and where all of it went or could go. They built me a few. Modern life is NOT better !

Thanks Matt. Great save. Well, the inside of the engine is clean. Lol. Going to be interesting to see the video on its sister. Like you, I would rather see these old machines get repurposed than end up in the scrap pile. Plus, we get to watch you revive them. Cheers.

There’s no better way to turn fuel into noise than running a Detroit! Having said that, this adventure reminds me of taking my grandfathers 955 to the steam threshers reunion. Worked all day for the Bucyrus 50B shovel crew moving dirt and carrying coal. Definitely broke a sweat working all those levers. Good enough to be labeled a “cat skinner” by one old timer. I was about 23 at the time. Great video Matt!

So I bought a GMC pickup with the 6.6 diesel in it , the guy told me it had a bad injection in it .i tested them all and they seemed ok. Drove it for a week,no problems at all,oil level was fine.so I used it to go on vacation pulled my 29 foot house trailer with it. 4 hours away I might add! 3 hours in my trip and I noticed black smoke out the back . I got to where I was going,parked for the night. Next morning I checked the oil, way above full . Took it in for an oil change. Told the young fella about the injection problem and he said “ no problem “. In the truck went and here is where the fun began! He pulled that plug and it shot “oil” over the tray and all over the shop . That thing drained for at least 5 minutes as him and his assistant ran around looking for more things to catch the oil in. It was something to watch. Needless to say when I got home it was injected time . Talk about a clean engine inside.spotless . Thought you would like to hear my story! Truck is still running great today.

2 cylinder, its a HD5, i owned one just like that one. it can do a lot of work on 25 HP. the engine is just standard 2-71 with a GM clutch dropped on the HD5 frame, then connected to the transmission. the machine will keep your arms and feet busy.

Your channel has inspired me to fix the broken trucks, cars and machines around my ranch. What a joy to get things straight again. All's it takes is elbow grease, and a lot of money. I already know how to do it, I just needed some gitter dun motivation. A little harder at 66 yrs old than at 46 but whatever. Thanks.

Matt, The HD 5 was built 1946 to 1955. The HD6G was built 1956 to 1959 with the AC-D344 engine and 1960 to 1974 with the AC 6000 engine.

I think the main issue with this machine must be the loss of fuel prime. I would not blame myself for kind of pooching the starter. Cause once the prime goes the starter follows. So you don't know how long this thing had the issue to begin with. Was worth watching and I do love these special Detroit diesel engine tools.

AGREED about the oil. Back in the 1990's I did the research when I worked for a municipality with an extensive list of equipment and I wanted to do away with the extensive amount of different oils both engine and hydraulic/transmission. The results were as you suspected, even the old 2 cycle Detroits were oked to use 15w40 and we also eliminated 5 or 6 different hyd/trans. fluids standardizing on "all purpose tractor/hydraulic oil. The only thing i found was the vehicles calling for 5w oil or 0w should not be converted. Four years ago I switched my 2007 GMC 6 liter to 15w40 the first cold day (below 0 ) I had to switch back NO OIL Presure!
