The following is an Email from Shell Oil to Me, followed by my original question to them.
Dear Sir,
The information we have for the Farmall 706 (gasoline) indicates it called for an API SF low ash oil (max 0.5% ) for viscosity ranges of 10w, 30w, and 5w-30. No information on higher viscosity ranges is listed in our reference. Rotella T 15w-40 meets API SM specifications for gasoline engines, which covers API SF, but has a maximum ash content of 1%.
Best Regards,
Shell Technical

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
