I have a Kohler Model 20000 generator and the spec sheet says to use 15 w 40 oil designated as SAE CC or CD. I cannot find this designation anywhere. Can Rotella T 15w 40 be used? It is designated as CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CH-4, CG-4, CF-4, SM,SL,SJ
The oil filter is straight forward enough. There is also a fuel filter and a fuel/water separator filter. They look like simple spin-on filters, but is there anything else that I need to be aware of before taking them off?
Finally, I've been wanting to carry some spare lubricant for the radiator fan drive gear box. This spec calls for synthetic oil IS VG 460, which I also can not find anywhere. Mobil SHC 634 or equal is also noted for this application.
Any ideas? I want to make sure I'm using the correct lubricants in both the generator and the fan gear box.
