MAN... Last time We had an oil discussion I said just about ALL farmers in the 50's were using detergent oil and by the 60's detergent was about all that was avail. If the engine/tractor has been run regularly and serviced... PUT DETERGENT OIL IN IT. If the tractor sat along the fence line for 20 years or was stuck... REBUILD the engine....
