Just want to take a quick second to introduce myself. My name is Michael, and I am the proud and grateful owner of a 1981 diesel Doka. I will learn how to upload photos and make a proper introduction here in the next couple of days.

Now, I do have a quick question… And I am still getting used to the search function on the site, but I swear I tried everything and wasn’t able to find the information. What is a good engine oil for the diesel? I live in Southern California – so I am dealing with a very mild climate year-round. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Honored to be here!

Michael

Howdy!

Welcome to our Special Farm, I mean, German Nuthouse, rather, a swell group of deranged bus people. You have entered The Twilight Zone, where the only Rod is sticking out the block and it's just an excuse to have a beer.

I never posted pics so am on perma-probation.

Oh wait, you meant the new guy...

First things first, Fella; Initiation, then probation, then information, then gratification, then frustration, then a service station, then inflation, then institutionalization.

We must not lead new posters astray.
