Ok new guy here, I've been lurking for a while but getting ready to order parts (leaking oil pressure sensor) and going to stock up on supplies. My question is, I currently run JD Turf Guard in our two mowers, John Deere x530 Tractor & Z930R, also have a 2012Kawasaki Mule I run 10-40 Kawasaki oil in. So the motors are a Kaw FS730V, Kaw 801V, and a Kaw 620V liquid cool fuel injected on the Mule. Looking for an all in one oil for the 3 machines, is Rotella t6 5w-40 the answer I'm looking for? Running the mowers mostly here in the hot dusty Kansas heat, Mule year round choring, idling, hunting etc. Or stick with what I been doing, 10-30 in the mowers 10-40 in the mule?

I don't see why T6 5w40 wouldn't work for all 3 machines, you could probably even step it up to T6 15w40
T6 5W-40 is a good option for your machines.
I think Rotella T6 5w40 or even Rotella T5 10w30 would work well in all of those.
Just my opinion, but I think Rotella T6 5w-40 or even 15w40 are the right oils for your local climate. I run the T6 5w-40 in my generators that might be called upon to run in temperatures anywhere from zero to 100F. The summer only lawn toys get 10w30 M1 High Mileage for it's 3.5 HTHS. Only the snow blower gets 5w30, the reasons being obvious. I could probably run that machine on 10w30 since it stays in the garage when not in use. It's a shame that SPOUS doesn't publish HTHS specifications.
Can't go wrong with that choice. The engines will most likely outlast the frames they're mounted to.
