I bought a new little tractor to use around the yard. It is not heavy equipment but this looked like the best place to ask my question.
The little Bobcat CT122 tractor has a 3 cylinder 22hp diesel engine and the recommended oil weights to use are all over the place in the hand book. 5W30 -- 20W50 are listed and they don't seem to even recommend a diesel oil for it. It seems that I can't go wrong with Rotella T 15W40 in it and maybe next year move over to Amsoil AMO 10W40 so it will use the same oil as my Jeep and gen sets.
Does this seem like a good plan?
