Was trying to decide if I should have posted this in tractor sub forum but decided I might get more attention here
I have a newer Branson 4520r tractor which has the Cummins engine. No turbo.
I am about to put in John Deere plus 50 II 0w40 in but at $45 per gallon, that’s expensive.
No cheaper alternatives here in Alaska.
Tractor sits outside and I often use it while it’s still -10f out after it’s been sitting overnight in -25f.
So yes, 0w40 is going in and 5w40 T6 is going out.
Just used Castrol a3/b4 0w40 in my vehicles.
I know that diesel requires different additives but the Branson has just a passive (catalyst style) exhaust system.
Curious if the Castrol would work with this tractor?
Thanks!
