Evenin' gentlemen. I have been poking around and it seems like flat tappets motors need more ZDPP than the average off the self oil can provide. The owner's manual recommend a variety of viscosites based on temperature. Would brand/line of oil should I look into. Shell Rotella, etc? It's a '60's model IH 444 gas tractor.
A 10W-40 or 15W-40 should work year round.
Thanks.
