Oil for 730 JD

Mike Rickard · Mar 16, 2009

I have a JD 730. There are many new oils on the market not available when the 30 series was in production. I still use my 730 for light use. Is is wise to use a synthetic, multi-viscosity oil in my old 730?

Thank,

Mike

You can but it won't gain anything unless the tractor is used in extreme cold or extreme heat.

I use Rotella 15 40 in all my diesels including my 720 and have never had a problem.

Multiviscosity oil, synthetic or regular is fine. It might be better to look for an oil with lots of slip additive for the cam shaft, and diesel oils fit that requirement. The lastest gas engine oils are short of slip additive.
