Can you use regular PCMO in small motors that don’t have oil filters?

I could care less about the cats, my truck isn’t using any noticeable oil. I just wanted Is the Amosil 5w-30 HDEO SS dual rated ?

Do the soot additives in diesel oil have any negative effect on a gas engine?

Consumption isn’t an issue but I know an excessive amount of zinc is also bad for wear? Would the 10w be an issue for a motor that’s recommended to run 5w? I wouldn’t run 10w if it its super cold. I ask these questions that may appear simple because I don’t want to play FAFO with a newer...

I like how thick this 30 weight oil is but didn’t know if the higher zinc and phosphorus content is counter productive for a modern push rod engine. I tow an 8,000 camper in the Rocky Mountains and wanted a motor oil with extra protection. Ford “recommends” 5-30 for most situations and 0w-30...

Serious question, how would you guys go about turbocharging such a tiny diesel? I’ve seen those little turbos that can fit in The palm of your hand.

bruh. It’s a diesel engine

My diesel is natty bruh, I wouldn’t even know how to go about turbocharging that little d722. And I like block beaters. Keeps my diesel nice and toasty in the winter so I can run 15w40 year round

They said the elevation is so high that I’m suffocating the little D722 engine

I don’t know, most compact Kubotas are naturally aspirated. I can understand having a 30 hp tractor to have more wiggle room when it comes to running implements but I was thrown off by the increased wear comment.

I own a 2023 Kubota bx1880 that I bought last year in Iowa that I used on our farm that’s at ~800 elevation. I moved back to Colorado and I recently brought my bx1880 back to Colorado in the mountains at 7,400’ elevation. I noticed it takes a few more seconds to start as if it’s in the...

It has little to no anti wear additives and the dispersant additives are very, very low. no thanks

Thanks guys for the responses. I’m just wondering why Kubota ONLY recommends 10w-30 or 15w-40 and not say 5w-40.

Ive found out when mowing that every hour or two the radiator screen AND the radiator need to be cleaned, I use an air compressor on both.

Tractors use Serious question, why do you prefer 10w-30 over 15w-40 for tractor work? Kubotas go to oil is 10w30 whilst John deere and yanmar me go to HDEO is 15w-40, temperature depending. And speaking of John deere, what’s sad about John deere dealers is that every man working at a John...

Kubota terminology is 10w-30 or 15w40 They say “or 15w-40” They have the temperature guidelines, which i assume are based on cold starts without a block heater. I’m a firm believer that diesels should run in 15w-40 or 5w-40 in the winter, but that’s just me

I have a bx1880 that I’ve always put 15w40 in. I’m assuming it had 10w-30 as the factory fill. After the 50 hour service interval I put Kubota 15w40 in it. The owners manual only recommends 10w30 or 15w40 in it. Being a BitOGeR, I chose the thicker oiL for better wear protection. It has a...

I had a 2022 6.7 cummins If I can’t run 15w40 in a diesel engine I don’t want it.. I was super bummed when I found out I couldn’t run 15w40 in mine

A DIY oil change with pennzoil ultra platinum is still pretty darn cheap if you want to do it every 5k miles. Or 3k miles. Not only is it cheap but it is cheap insurance too

I have too much respect for a motor to play the game of extended OCI’s
