    John Deere 757 Hydro Fluid

    Amsoil has a 20w-50 hydro oil. https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-20w-50-100-synthetic-hydrostatic-transmission-fluid-ahf/?srsltid=AfmBOorvL8ALPNhQ9m9MEzKuR5cgLhORVrvHdvnkP2UYDZ4uvtFvoe35 Any 15w-40, 5w-40 HDEO would work well. Deere also has a really stout 0w-40 PAO based full synthetic HDEO.

    Snowblower Use - Chevron Delo 400 XSP HD Diesel SAE Fully Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil

    Oil manufacturers only post 100c and 40c viscosity on PDS but you can use viscosity graph calculators to see the curves. Colder it gets, thicker the viscosity gets. There are many 5w-xx but there’s a wide range of actual viscosity. Below I compare M1 0w-40, 10w-30 and the 5w-40. You’ll see, M1...

    Snowblower Use - Chevron Delo 400 XSP HD Diesel SAE Fully Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil

    You cannot tell the relative startup viscosity by the xW-number. That number refers to the ability to flow way down near -30/35 F depending on the xW rating. Do not confuse oil weight/grade with actual viscosity. Generally, the lower the viscosity the easier the starting. Extreme cold does...

    Snowblower Use - Chevron Delo 400 XSP HD Diesel SAE Fully Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil

    Go put a quart of 5w-30 conventional and 5w-30 synthetic in a freezer at 0f and tell me which one flows more quickly. Base oils, HTHS, VIIs, many other things. Look up the cold viscosity specs of a 5w-40 and then a 5w-30. For instance, a 10w30 synthetic is usually thinner at cold temps than a...

    Snowblower Use - Chevron Delo 400 XSP HD Diesel SAE Fully Synthetic 5W-40 Motor Oil

    Interesting, my old tecumseh on the toro definitely noticed the difference. Even in my Deere with electric start, it spins much quicker with the 5w-30 syn. To clarify, I'm not saying the 5w-40 won't adequately flow, just that 5w-30 syn has made starting much easier in my experiences. .

    Its pretty noticeable. A 10w-30 syn is still thinner than a 5w-40 in the cold....

    Still, its much thicker than any 5w30 at all temps, especially in the cold.

    I'd use 5w-30 unless you want a shoulder work out.

    Weird Unexpected Email Address

    If they were responding by email via an iphone, they could have accidently clicked "hide my email" and sent it using an icloud email instead of their normal gmail. Has happened to me a couple of times before.

    Citco Lithoplex Grease

    Are you meaning Citgo? Lithoplex is the name for all their greases. Which one are you talking about? They make a huge range of greases. Their Mystik line up is very good stuff. Specifically the JT-6, so the citgo line up is probably very similar. The make all colors of greases depending on the...

    Clogged Eustachian Tube in Ear

    I have to put a few drops of olive oil into my ears during the winter as they get dry and causes clogs. Olive oil helps sooth and keeps things moving. A couple drop of olive oil might help get the clog moving. I use Earol.

    Verizon Wireless Price increase w/Autopay

    Father in law = FIL. Internal port means porting your number to a different carrier, ie VZW to TMob or ATT, or vise vera. Only takes 30 minutes or less to switch carriers on the US Mobile webpage. Even less time if you're using an e-sim. I switched (internal port) from vzw to Tmobile for...
