On a previous post I said I just bought a 1365. Up to now I am pretty satisfied with the tractor, a good buy I think. This morning I checked the oil level, the level is fine but the oil is black as molasse and I don"t know what grade it is. Is it normal for the oil to be that color ? Winter wil be here (sometimes it gets as low as -20F). Should I change the oil, what grade is best suited for winter in diesel engines ?

id recommend rotella 10w 30 or 15w 40. Its very normal for the oil to get black in diesel engines, that means the oil is doing its job because its detergent oil. Just think if all that black built up in your engine and was never flushed by the engine oil.

I'd run rotella 10W40 or 10W30 in it. Old oil gets black as it gets used probably means its been a long time since the oil was changed.
