Or is it a 93? Listing sez both.
Don't see too many Newells listed on ebay.

GOOD CONDITION NO MAJOR PROBLEMS"
I'm thinking it ought to be in super shape though, for $75K.

It's a '93. Coach #322
I am the head caretaker and floor sweeper on my dads coach. Also the one who drives it to Oklahoma for him for service.

I notice it lists Girard awning. The only awning is the main awning and it is a ZipDee. I saw this coach listed 10 years ago and the ad mentioned that it had hydraulic leveling. If that is true (not mentioned in this ad) it is one of a handful of post 1990 Newells to have hydraulic levelers.

I see that the coach data plate in one of the pictures recommends Mobil Delvac 1. If this is an 8V92 it seems strange that Newell would specify this oil. Is delvac not a multi weight oil ?

At least by 1990, all the 8V92 Newells carried a plate in the engine compartment with the recommendation to run Mobil Delvac 1. When I bought my coach, Newell told me they had great success with Delvac 1 in the 8V92 although other sources are vehement that using multi weight oil is a big NO-NO for the 8V92. I do not know who is correct but I have always used a low ash single viscosity 30 weight oil in mine since the bus companies that run 8V92's all seem to use low ash single viscosity 40 weight which is Detroit Diesel's recommendation.

Edit Reason: Changed typo from 30 to 40 weight.

Oops, typo, my bad. Yes, Detroit Diesel recommends low ash SAE40. I will fix my previous post. Thanks!!

I've spent 50 plus years owning various two stroke detroits. Detroit has never wavered from their recommendation to use straight 40W oil. The only waiver is extreme cold. Then they recommend straight 30W. I don't fool around with anything that goes into a two stoke. I only use Detroits oil and coolant.
My two cents anyway.
