Age old question as old as engines have been used. I have 17 running tractors. From 1937 F12 /20,to 197o 1456.I try to use all of them for something during the year. Plus 2 older gas combines,gas grain truck and pickups,car,motorcycle,ATV... I run 15/44 fleet diesel in all of them,everything.Have for over 40 years.Most farmers use the same oil in all thier equipment.Brand is really not important.I have NEVER had an oil related failure. Most are 'high hour' machines.Todays worst oils are far superior to yesterdays best oils. There was no such thing as 'multiviscosity' or detergent oils when the tractor was built.You need to pick ONE oil for your tractors.Again,brand is not important.IMHO,synthetic oil is a waste of money on an old tractor that only gets run a few hours a year.You should change oil yearly anyway. If you start putting a seperate/different oil in each tractor etc,someday you will have a mixup. pouring the wrong oil into the wrong tractor. Especially if the kids or others are around 'helping'.If you have 5 old tractors or other vehicles,each useing a different oil,you're gonna have 5 different open oil cans,plus 5 kinds of unopened cans for adding.You're asking for trouble.So,one oil for all. You can use the same oil as you put in your pickup.Keep it simple.
