Oh and u still did not answer my question. keep on looking for it on the internet for it with all those big fancy words you use u should find it. By the way, Berings are not the first thing to were out on an engine so keep looking.

Sorry so late guys got side tracked. that Turbo guy has everybody up in arms.what impressive techno language.look people it's not that hard to concept thick oil dosenot pump well.

15w 40 to thick again I know how a oil system works I presum that you think nobody else does. Look if the oil is to thick to pump your engine is not going to get sufficient lubrication during start up, plain and simple. think about it what's the two main things on an engine that wear out...

Yes different concept definitely but it's a 3/4 inch hole vs 1/16 and if it can't travel through that hole very well guess where it's going. Out the relief on the oil pump.

Went ahead and switched to 5w 40 a week ago and man what a difference it starts a lot easier and runs a lot smoother at the beginning. Used the moble 1. Full synthetic heavy duty diesel oil. Drained that 15 40 out at 30 degrees. That stuff barely came out glad I got it out. Just think, that...

Yes , distilled water flush and fill back up with distilled water will keep your system looking brand new forever. Every other year flushes.

3.50 at Waterloo Illinois rural king there usaully 3.99 but u can always get them on sale not to bad for me.

Oh ok just wandering. I'll try to put more post so I can be better.

Why all the hate for fram filters? Ive been using them for 20 years no problems my vehicles last 200000+ miles still run great when I sold them my friends use them with results of 300000 I've never heard anyone have trouble with them. Everybody on here hates them but nobody says why. Why????

I have not used those kinds of oils before nor do I know anybody who has they just sound good to me just wanted to get some info first before I used them.

Thanks for all the suggestions,I think the 15 40 is way to thick myself for initial start up and while the manual says 10 30 they could just be throwing a common number out there or it could be a good fuel saver number but not necessarily ultimate for the engine. But actually it's a yanmar...

I've got a little compact john Deere tractor 3cyl. Diesel my manual says put 10w 30 in it but I go get john Deere oil and mechanics say 15w 40 so that's what I've been running but that 15w 40 is very very thick especially in the winter. Should I run 5 40 or 10w 30 engine oil?
