Is Rotella T6 5W-40 a good oil for these engines? OEM filters for sure here, but wondering if 5w-40 is warranty compliant, and if anyone has been using it and how it's performing for you.
I ran an old VW golf TDI on T6 for years, (yes I know, different machine totally), and found it an excellent oil in terms of performance and reduced oil consumption. I did the 50 hour change on the B with 10w-30 semi-synthetic, but time soon for 200 hr change. Have enough Rotella T6 left over (golf died years ago, kept the oil pail) for 2 tractor oil changes, but worried about the viscosity spec being different than recommended for my new tractor.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
