Not a car or truck, but closest forum I suppose.
Anyways, I own a 1963 Case 830 Gas Tractor, and traditionally we have always ran a good 15w-40 oil in it.
It is a 4 cylinder, about 70 HP. It maybe gets 50-100 hours a year put on it anymore, mostly grinding feed and mowing roadsides, etc. It never pulls hard or anything like that, just utility work. It does sit 2-3 weeks without use at times.
I have been wondering if maybe I ought to try something different in it since it specs a 30 wt, and has to start in cold weather without any block heater or oil heater. We always used 15w-40 since thats what all the diesel tractors used, and it was easy.
Appreciate any responses.
