39 IHC D-15 Oil Change Questions
As I stated earlier in my first post, I will be asking alot of dumb questions as I try to get the D15 started. I have a Binder Book on order but do not have it yet. I'm a little embarrassed to ask these but here goes. I have drained the oil and peeled the the oil filter out and have a ordered a case of oil filters. NAPA wanted $20 bucks for one and I was able to find a case for $7 a piece here locally. $84 for 12 which I figured wasnt bad. I figure I will use a few trying to get it cleaned out and then have extra ones. Where do I add the oil back in. I thought one of the two black knob things on top of the motor might be the oil cap but they are on there pretty good. So, I am thinking the oil dipstick tube to add the oil back in? The research I have done on the oil to use is Non Detergent 30W. Is that correct? I see some at Walmart, is that okay to use? The last question I have is a farmer buddy told me to put a bit of diesel gas in the oil pan and bump the starter a couple of times to build up the pressure to push the diesel into the motor and then shut off and it would help drain the sludge out of the motor and pan. I am not so sure that is safe to do. I dont want to ruin anything. Thoughts? Thanks Ed
