I know that the best motor oil for my 8v-71 is Delo 100 40wt., but I can't find it locally (West Michigan). I called Williams Detroit Diesel and they said they use Delvac 40 wt. in all the 8v-71 work they do. They claim that Delvac 40 wt. is made by DD for the 8v-71. Any advice on this? As always... Thanks in advance!!

I was just at Detroit Diesel New England picking up a few parts and noticed about 20 five gallon pails of Delvac 1340 oil. Must be the right stuff if they stock it here too.

IIRC, Delvac is Mobil Oil's name for the equivalent of Chevron's Delo.
As long as it meets DDA's specs for two-strokes, it should be OK.

Mark,
The Delvac is what I have been using based on the specs in the manual and on the oil. I also buy it directly from Williams DD in Grand Rapids since they give me great service and ship it right to my door.

Ursa oil 40 wt from Texaco is also good and is what I use
