I think 15W-40 diesel rated oil is a great choice. Aside from the brands mentioned, you can also find off-brand budget-friendly oil at most places (like Tractor Supply, Runnings, NAPA, etc). Then again, the benefit of straight-weight oil is that there's more oil in there vs multi-viscosity. The "viscosity improver" additives take up significant volume. I'd still avoid thin stuff, climate dependent. I still see straight SAE 30 and 40 on the store shelves; haven't seen 10 or 20 in quite a while.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>SO</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>SO</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jul 4, 2021 at 2:41 PM Mike M <<a href="mailto:meulenms@gmx.com">meulenms@gmx.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I like Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15w40. Pretty cheap at Wally World or
Rural King.<br>

<div style="font-family:Arial">Diesel oil is recommended because
some of them have a sf rating which is better for your engine

it has a sf rating it is better than anything available when it

<div>Happy 4th all. Have some questions I hope you'll can help
me with.<br>

<div> Bought this home yesterday:<br>

<div> <img alt=""><br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Looking for general suggestions of things to check, and
recommendations on oil (engine, transmission and hydraulic).<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> So far, I have changed the oil, using 10w-20 oil to get it
running and home. I plan on switching to a diesel rated oil,
what oil and rating would you recommend? Manual calls for 10w
in the winter, and 20w in the summer, but things have changed
since then.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> While changing the engine oil filter, found that the lower
and upper plates are missing, I have replacements for them on
the way.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Ignition switch needs to be replaced (or repaired), it is
not supplying power to the coil, but otherwise is working.
Generator is charging the battery.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Other than the ignition switch (and lights), and possibly
the temperature gauge for the engine, everything appears to be
working.<br>
