Is that a tractor?
Out: ^2009 Kubota M9540
Out: Unknown dealer bulk (Changed when we bought it at 573 hours)
In: Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15w40. I left the OEM filter on since it only has 115 hours on it. I’ll probably run this fill for 100-150 hours and change the oil and filter. Kubota recommends changing the oil every 300 hours and the engine oil filter every 600 hours.

Out:^ 184.3 engine hours on this OCI.Massey Ferguson 6475 (Perkins 1106c)
Out: Delo 400 SDE (CK-4/SN), OEM filters: 1447048M2. Oil was ran from 2,861.8 hrs to 3,079.0 hrs (217.2 hours in service), from 5-17-2019 to 8-16-2020.
In: 15.2 quarts of Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15w40 and (2) Carquest 85806 filters, made by Baldwin. The filters are mounted base down, so they have a built in standpipe. I believe the Massey/agco OEM filters are a relabeled Wix 51806.
I also replaced the mechanical lift pump with a Delphi HFP068 (Carquest, lifetime warranty). The mechanical lift pump was replaced last year at the last oil change with an OEM Massey replacement after the 14 year old factory pump diaphragm tore and started leaking. The OEM replacement failed after a year and only about 200 hours of service. The pump that failed after only a year from Massey (4225162M1) was $161.28 from the dealer last year. The Delphi pump was $89.50 through a friend that let me have it at his cost.

No reason at all you can't run a synthetic 30w multi-grade in a Magnum engine. The quality of multi-grade oils have improved a ton since those old owners manuals were written.Changed oil n filter on a simplicity large garden tractor . Kohler 18 hp air cool twin.

Well I typically go with Delo XLE as it's dual rated for both gas/diesel engines, we have tons of Rotella in 2.5 gallons that dad has purchased over the years so I've been trying to use it all up in the 1100 as it holds 4 gallons and still taking awhile to use it all up, the Rotella we have is so old it's not even labeled as T4 but they are kept inside in their sealed containers, I think we still have around 10 of them left. The other tractors I've switched over to synthetics, mostly whatever is on hand, a blend or full synthetic. I went to the parts store on Friday and all she had was 3x 1 gallon T5 15w40 which I thought was going to be enough but obviously wasn't and didn't have anymore in the back, I wasn't thinking that I could've just gotten 2x T6 jugs from there. The parts stores are way too expensive on oil so I went to Walmart to see what they had on the shelf and T5 isn't one of them so I thought I'd go back to the Delo and they did have that but it's a blend, the Delvac Extreme was only an extra $7-$8 and is a full synthetic. For the filters the 1100 takes a special one that's really long, the other 2x tractors do use the same and I had the Purolator on hand leftover from a Ford truck that I had once owned and currently don't have anything else to use it on. I did have Delo on hand but I only had 10w30 & some 5w40, I have used 5w40 and mixed in 10w30 before without issues.How come you don't use all the same stuff? is it just whatever is on sale, on hand type of thing?
