John Deer on RFD TV

[Solo]

If you get the chance to see a rerun of the show last night on lubricants and fluids take the time to watch it lots of good info on the show.

As you can see by the title I'm not a John Deere man. Sorry to the die hard Deere fans.

I did and found it really interesting esp in light of the 'oil wars' over in the oil/lube forum. I think the claims JD makes about their 50+ engine oil being better than off the shelf products was most interesting. IIRC this is similar to the claim NH makes (made?) about their Ambragold product. Although I dont think NH backs that up w/ the 50% oil change extension claim like JD does. Sadly imperical data was missing from the conversation and I would have liked to hear that. What does their additive pkg really buy you in terms of MTBF/reduced maint costs (other than longer periods between oil changes)? They never said a word about who they partner w/ to do all the work but it seems some amt of the research goes on in-house.

Also liked their take on coolants.
