I have a 951 loader with the 3304 engine, and I was wondering if it would be okay to run Shell Rotella 15w-40 oil in the engine. I don't know what was run in it in the past. Thanks for any replies.....

Should be fine , if the engine is clean .. however if its been neglected and there is a lot of gummy sludge new oil can dislodge it which can cause trouble!! it might be worth changing it twice give it a few hours work and change, then your back to normal intervals ..

Thanks fellas, I think I'll try it. Engine looks to be pretty clean from what I can see.
