Last Friday I decided to change the oil in my B1550 HST diesel engine. As I was planning to put the new oil in, I realized that I didn't have any of the D10W-30 oil that I usually use. I thought I could buy some today.
However, we had a large snowstorm overnight (large for NC, 7 inches). I have a drive that is almost 1/2 mile long so I use the tractor to plow out the drive, that is if the tractor was working. I can't get the car out to go get more oil since I need to plow first, but I can't plow since I don't have the oil.
Question: Can I use gasoline oil (SAE10W-30) for a day, and then change the oil after I am able to get out and get diesel oil tomorrow?
Any advice and views appreciated.
