With SAE30 in the tractor, of course it turns over alot easier on 6volts when it's 75 deg outside than when it's 40 deg...what is it that's bad about the 5w-30 for the older machines?

I run Delo 15/40 in everything year round. It gives me good oil pressure in the summer while haying and cranks pretty good at below zero when I feed in the winter. I have 10 diesel motors I use it in and for sure it will clean them out. All of my motors are real clean inside. If your motor is not wore out it should be fine. PK

the story goes that if the motor had non detergent oil in it for 50 years it would be full of sludge. if you start using a detergent oil it could dislodge some sludge and plug some ports.---- if the 30 wt oil yor are using in detergent oil, then you are fine to chage to multi. i use nothing but 10w30 in my tractors ( B- C units).

the story is true too...got a '62 Ford 2000 thats been in the family since hurricane carla got the jubilee in '61...it had always had non detergent pennzoil 30 wt in it...about 6 years ago i got to thinkin about all the crap that must be in engine and since i'm gonna restore it one of these days i figured may as well start cleanin innards...well about a month after i changed oil it started using oil and losing compression as the detergent started cleaning the grunge up.
if its a recent rebuild or a for sure low hour tractor you can get away with switching..not sure where ya live but i wouldnt run 5w nuthin here in Texas...i run 20w50 in all my trucks and 15w40 in dozer ['70 JD350B] and whatever i can find on sale for the 2000...the d17 didnt run long enuff to change oil but it'll prob get same as dozer when i get it going again.
