Instead of foil....take one milk/softener jug and cut/shape it into a funnel...

I haven't used it yet. I put mostly Rotella T 15w40/SuperTech 15w40 conventional in customer machines, and use T6 5w40 in generators. The synthetic is almost twice the price, so it's hard to justify the extra cost to most customers. It's also a bit harder to find around here. Tractor Supply here doesn't stock it, and the local WalMart is absolutely terrible at stocking oil. At some point I will try it for sure, I'm sure it's great oil. The T5 15w40 has been great the times I've used it.

Looking at my fall cleanup list, I could probably use the better part of a jug of that 15w-40 T6 between the harder working summer machines. Whatever is left could go in the jug that I use for bar oil on the chainsaw. So I am thinking that the lawn tractor, leaf vacuum and rototiller may see 15w-40 T6 this fall.

It should work well in all of those.

The John Deere 1028e got unknown oil out and refilled with PYB 5w30.

I will run it for a few hours and will probably change it again.
