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.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
