So thinking about changing oil in lawnmower today and I'm curious that once the changes are made how long with the oil stay effective by sitting around? Thought I would change it now run it every couple weeks to warm up the engine and shut it down till season starts thoughts? Have several to do...

I just looked on the Rotella T6 spec and know it had the latest Ford spec listed. Was it just recently added? Nope just looked again and not same spec. Sorry insomnia working on me. Lol

Ok going to stay the course. Thanks guys.

Well I just looked and the new Ford spec is on Ritella T6 now so I'm happy.

I have several older Fords from 1980-1990. All of them are 10 series ranging from 34-70 hp. Should I be using HD oils? And standard 15-40 or the 5-40 synthetic versions. To this point have been running Rotella 15-40 but am wondering if another brand or type is better. Thank you.

Ok so whats the real deal on this. I read things stating that its impossible for algae, bacteria, and fungus to grow in diesel fuel tanks. Common sense tells me this is true as I would assume they need water, food, and light. In reality most things that you poor fuel on die eventually as this is...

I need help picking best fuel stabilizer and fuel system cleaner for small engines. Has there been any testing done on this topic?

Thanks Jim. Sounds like im probably ok this go around but may do something different next time.

Havoline seems to be cheaper at least in the 10w30.

There actually gas tractors (antique fords) and newer lawn mowers. Sounds like theres not much difference though.

Of these two which is a better Dino oil?

Thanks for info

Hello, I am changing out the rear hydraulic and transmission fluid in these tractors. The spec from the OEM say it requires a M2C134D. This would be the fluid from New Holland. However i can save $75 on 15 gallons if i get the premium grade from Napa. The exact name is Napa Premium Heavy-Duty...

I never crank them below 30F anyway as i dont use them much then anyways. So really looking at 30F and above. Tractors crank fine but they do sit a month or so between usage. Ive heard synthetics adhear to the cylinder walls longer reducing engine wear at start up. Is this true?

Hello, I currently run Rotella 15-40 oil for these tractors. Today i was thinking of switching for Rotella 5-40 for better protection for cold starting. Is there a reason to stay away from synthetic oils for these older tractors? Thanks,
