I’ve run synthetic for years in my S60. I do have oil analysis done at each change primarily looking for diesel fuel or coolant contamination. I’ve had no issues on the S60 but my previous 8V92 required action a couple of times on contamination issues.
I suppose if someone who runs dino oil, changes it at the same intervals as myself (10K) and drives their coach at a similar weight, temp conditions, etc, and has oil analysis by the same company, we could probably figure out which oil is better!

Good thought Tom. I called Dekka last year & talked to their design engineer & he said to “periodically” discharge to @ 50% for battery longevity. He couldn`t define “periodically” so I do it @ every 2-3 months and load up the gen every month.

In 1969 or 1970 when cars still had carbs and they were just beginning to put on emissions devices such as air pumps and crankcase valves a lot of people also suggested they would never buy cars with emissions equipment.
Yet here we are today with the average family sedan capable of blowing the doors off of the fast cars of yesterday getting a gazillion MPG, capable of going hundreds of thousands of miles, and with exhaust cleaner than the air it takes in if you live in Los Angeles.
Our coaches are but a few years into the same scenario and we are dealing with similar types of band aid approaches to our engines that have to comply with standards written by tree huggers who don’t know the business end of a wrench. But if we have folks that are incapable of understanding where to pump DEF and diesel fuel perhaps they need to rethink if they should be driving a diesel. Panther piss otherwise known as DEF goes into the little tank, diesel goes into the big tank. They are marked. They also have available an owner’s manual. I’ll bet someone even did a Utube video to help folks understand where to put the DEF.
We’ll get past this just like we did the cars of the early 70’s that were strangled until the engineers got a handle on things. But until then if anyone wants a new coach they are going to need DEF.

Napa group 31’s boy’s, you can’t beat the price and if there’s a problem, Napa stores are everywhere.
Brian – If you would have called me turkey day weekend, I could have had Lifelines delivered to you at Walmart with complimentary turkey leftovers and a wash job for your coach. Just one of the many benefits of PC.:)

Thanks Charles, at least someone is using the FREE NAPA card which will save appox. $50 per 31 series battery.
Bernie, hold on I’am on my way. We’ll have that Mega Trucker breakfast and trash talk all these guy’s.

Tom, was the park brake on to go adjust the t stats down since the dash air was not able to keep you cool? Or possibly to apply those for sale by owner signs in the windows?!

Jeff, I would take a close look at Kingsley’s 02 Liberty/single slide. It’s a nice bus and Liberty did a lot of work on it before they started using it this past May. I think it can be bought very near your price point. It’s worth a call. Geo.

DKO, the big boys near the interstate are always a rip off. When in AZ make sure you use the RV pumps, lower price than the truck pumps due to tax. If your on 10 I have found it cheap east of Quartzite at Pride…$3.37 the other day.

A 97 coach came equipped with 315 tires at all positions.

I agree with what Kevin said. Steve a is a class act guy! Kevin I saw your coach inthe desert at MCC over the weekend and it looked awesome. I hope they are owners in MCC. If your looking to buy or sell a coach give steve a call. I brought mine from Steve and have been very pleased

At the S. Dakota Marathon Rally, quite a few people were talking about getting together at Hearthside Grove in Michigan to caravan to the rally in Quebec. We’d really like to do that unless we decide to head to Canada from Stoneridge (Idaho) and go across. I’m concerned about reading French street signs in Quebec on our own though!

Nothing wrong with the green but as Jon said make sure it meets the specs and you won’t find it a Wal/Mart or places like Auto Zone.
If a liner ever starts to pit there is no stopping it.I just was making a point he just bought the bus and proabably has no idea what is in the system just be safe and start over if a series 60 gets full of coolant it can run into big bucks in a hurry
The good thing about Power Cool is you don’t spend a lot of time trying keeping the system balanced with the SCA filters and chemicals and at the DD sales you can buy it most of the time cheaper than shopping around for the green stuff
