Appropriate Oil for an old B6200 diesel tractor

[Jim F]

Hi, Folks,
Is Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic heavy duty diesel motor oil appropriate for my old Kubota B6200 or is this oil type best suited for large heavy duty diesel engines that power semis, or doesn't it matter at all; oil's just oil?
The oil has an API rating of CK-4 CJ-4, CI-4 CI-4 Plus, CH-4 and SN.
Thanks in advance for the guidance.
Jim

That oil will work great in your tractor, which I use in my B7100.

Also, do you recommend 15W-40 or 5W-40 weight? I'm in the Pittsburgh, PA area, which is temperate: not too hot, not too cold.
Thanks again,
Jim

Either will work in that engine.

They also make 10w-30, but it's hard to find. I've got 5w-30 in my L35 and it really cranks easy, but that seems pretty thin for north Mississippi. I think I have some 5 left over and some 15, so my next change will probably be a mix.

Thanks, Wolfman! I should be all set now,

Thanks, PTB. BTW, your Mississippi State B-Ball team really took it to my Pitt Panthers early in the season. An embarrassing loss for us!

LOL, I don't claim those guys, I'm from Rebel (Univ of Miss, AKA Ole Miss) country.
