I have a question for all you mechanics out there: Are antique tractors compatible with synthetic oil? I have used Mobil 1 10w-30 in my C for a few months now, but yesterday I seemed to have less oil pressure than normal... Dad uses the same stuff in his van and got a BOOST in oil psi's and 2 mpg. I haden't noticed any differences in my tractor until yesterday, It didn't even have the same oil psi's that it normally has when starting or after running after a while... I have had this synthetic in it for a while and hadn't noticed any difference between it and regular oil. Should I use a higher viscoscity synthetic? or go back to normal oil? I decided to try it in the tractor after dad using it for years in his van and after reading an article in Farm Industry News magazine from this year about how synthetics held up better to thier heat and sludge and breakdown tests... Are there any differences between my c's oil system and a car or truck or even a newer tractor's oil sysetms? I know this is long, But I thought I'd ask and this is a topic that I haven't heard much on to begin with and thought it could benifit others as well...I'd like to keep using synthetics because I think they're better but I have no Idea... Thanks Everyone !
