The group III blends will perform as well as the group iv or group v in normal use and your engine life will be the same.
EXCEPT.... in extreme temperatures where the group iv and v oils will exceed. SO>.. If you run your tractors and equipment below zero,,, or when out side temps are above 120,, you might... want to move up the 4 and 5 bases oils.
