[AT] ford oil

[Chris Britton]

Considering the scotch yoke piston pump in the ford N series was designed 
around that heavy weight oil..like a 90wt mineral oil.. I don't see how a 
thinner oil could be said to be 'better' in a blanket statement like that.

On the ford N boards i frequent.. some people experience a bit better cold 
weather response fromt he thinner oil.. but the vast majority with a non 
rebuilt pump.. or one with some wear like the response of the heavy oil much 
better.

Axle seals and tranny input shaft seals that don't leak on 90wt have been 
known to leak with teh thinner 134d type oil.

You put whatever you want in your tractor.. I think I'll stick to the weight 
that was specified as oem...
