On the subject of oils, I have a newly acquired 1974 Cub Lo-Boy 154 so this thread confirms what a lot of other car and truck forums have taught me....there is nothing like an oil thread to bring out a lot of good information.
I've run diesel VW's for years and a Dodge Cummins, I used to use Rotella T dino 15w40 but the Ohio winters turned the dino into syrup. A few years back, I started seeing Rotella synthetic 5w 40 in gallon jugs. I've used this for a few years and found it to be a good oil for the money, it holds good pressure even on 90 deg days on my Jetta diesel with 240k. The 5w and synthetic gets moving quickly at cold start at all temps, the 40 weight still protects when warm like the heavier oils. I'm probably going to try this syn Rotella 5w40 in the Cub when I get it going and flushed out, i like the detergents in the diesel oils but I like the advice about to change the filter a few times if unsure about what was in there previously (which is my case).
