I have a 2014 Kubota zero turn with a Kohler engine. The manual specs anything from 5w30 to Kohler branded 10w50. Best price I’m finding the kohler oil is $22 per quart 😂. What would you recommend? Only ran in the NY summer, put about 10 hours on it a month. I was thinking maybe an hdeo in the 5w40 flavoring? T6 or delvac esp? Thoughts?
 
My OPE get whatever is leftover from the cars. These days it is simply R&P 5W30. Usually the rest of the mower falls apart around the engine, so I don't overthink it.
 
Usually use whatever 15w-40 I'm putting in the trucks. That 06 gravely zt with a v twin kholer has been good for 20 years burns no oil to this day and it's a cheap residential unit used on a small farm with thick pond weeds tall grass and some brush and rocks so it gets used hard but it's still good just ugly from all the use and abuse.
