    Correct Oil Type for Ford Tractors?

    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.

    Synthetic Motor oil for Ford 2810 and 3910 tractor

    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?
