Zero turn Kohler engine oil recommendation

[02s4audi]

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.

Any full synthetic 5W-40 0r 0W-40 diesel oil

T6 is my favorite…

15w-40 delvac works great in all my ope

My Kohler Command gets the leftovers (new oil that is, not used) from previous vehicle oil changes. It's got about a million hours in it. Lots of xW-30 of on-sale brand oil.

Amsoil Small Engine Oil. Just pick your weight. It only cost about $16.00 per quart.

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.

How long do you run the oil?

How long do you run the oil?

Change it yearly right before mowing season starts. I just bought it this year though.
