My wife's cousin has a Ford 8N tractor and its owner's manual calls for use of 30 weight engine oil in the summer. He has been using 30w HD oil in it for years. This tractor is a 1950 model and has a gasoline powered, 2.0 liter (119.7 cu.in.), 4 cylinder engine that makes about 25 hp.
He is wanting to use a multigrade oil so that it's easier to start in the winter but will have adequate viscosity for summer. He doesn't use the tractor very much so only wants to change the oil once a year.
What oil would you guys recommend for this application?
I was thinking maybe Rotella or Delo 400 15W-40.
