I run the Amsoil PCO in my Yanmar engine. Don't run extended drain intervals. Before the price increases last year, the quantities I purchased this oil at calculated to $4.175/quart. My little Yanmar diesel loves it; the engine is clean -- 306.9 hours on it in just under 500 days; stout oil for...

Thanks for the advice and information ... I have decided on the John Deere Plus 50 15W-40 HDEO. I'm here in sunny, hot, dry SC; and we've been having 98, 99 and 100+ degree days here lately. I don't think multi-viscosity SAE 30 weight oil does well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I believe the 40...

Try just under $17,000 for about 30 hours in the hospital for a heart cath and stent (manufactured in Israel). JGY

The specs from the John Deere website indicate JD 5W-30. JGY
