I am trying to find out what type and weight of engine oil that everyone is using in their duece. I am a new MV owner and trying gather information. Thanks.

15-w30 is what they use and use synthetic
There is no such thing as 15w-30 synthetic,the equivalent in synthetic is 05w-30.15-w30 is what they use and use synthetic
I don't believe it. For example, two-cycle Detroit Diesel engines - which the military still has hundreds of thousands of in everything from HEMTTs to gensets - require a special oil that is unique and not used in any other engine..... OE/HDO-40. That's SAE 40w, rated CF-2 (Just for 2-strokes!) and also meets MIL-PRF-2104G. It is widely known that multi-grade oils cause liner scuffing, wrist pin wear, and consequent short lifespan and high oil consumption in these engines.The military has changed everything over to 15W-40 per the maintenance personnel I have talked to.
