fuchs oil

FUCHS oil is good but when we were buying by the 44 a couple of years back it was cheaper than the other name brands?? and we used in everything on the boat-engine, generator, gearbox, hydraulics, steering etc etc.
If the MOBIL is the correct grade and type for your TD there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER not to use it.

I have been using fuchs in my 1100cc motorbike for around 50,000kms now. I can't remember why I first started, but after changes it seemed to stay cleaner and 'more oily' (ie hadn't lost lubrication properties) than previous oils I had used (including mobil).

Note this is not scientific, just what I observed when doing regular changes. It is also a different application, motorbike oils have different properties to other oils due to wet clutches etc.

I tend not to use it in my N/A 1HZ. I buy drums of whatever oil is available that meets specs. But I will go out of my way to buy it for the bike, as I know it is good.

I have the same motor - used the 15W40 Fuchs for a few years and now use the 15W40 Gulf Western stuff that is CI-4 and in 20litre drums. Don't worry about the brand, look at the specs and viscosity, which should all be above that specified by Toyota.
"Oils is oils, Sol" ...........:-)))

We use Mobil Delvac 15W40 in the Big Diesel MTU's at work, that's probably just cause that's what MTUDDC tell us to stick in LOL

It was Shell at one stage too, but Mobil Looks to be the new oil now.

Mobil is a Good oil same a Fuchs, Go with what ever, If you can get it easily stick with the Fuchs, otherwise just go with the Mobil, A mechanic is going to tell you to use what ever oil he uses in his workshop.

cheers.

G'day Dave,

I have never used fuchs oils.........never been able to pronounce it correctly...lol

Not much help I guess;))

BTW if you use the spell check you get an interesting alternative!!!!!!!

I have been using Fuchs oil for a while now, as I have started buying it in 200l drum.
I use it in every vehicle on the place, Diesels, petrols and gas, small motors and large, and having no problems with it.
Use there gear oil's too.
As above, just make sure the rating is correct and I dont think it matters which brand.

Cheers Pesty
