Hey guys I know this question has probably been asked a lot, but I am doing an oil change and I live in the North East but only use my tractor 3 or 4 times in the winter to clear snow on a property that I have. have been using 15w40 kubota oil should I use there 10w30 in the winter or leave well enough alone and continue with the 15w40.Machine has 100 hrs on it now.All fluids and filters were changed at the 50 hr mark as stated in manual.And should I stay with there oil or go to synthetic oil like rotella t6.Thank you in advance.

I'm in Michigan and used the Rotella T6 5w-40 synthetic in my B7610. It was nice on the cold, cold nights when I had to clean the drive. It started up just like it would in the summer. I think it's a great all year round oil. That's probably what i'll put in my L3200 when it's time to do the 50 hour change.

The Kubota oil is fine, but I'm using Rotella T6 5w-40 synthetic now. Use the
one that makes you feel the best. :cool:

I think I'm fixing to swap over to the Rotella T6 5w/40 also. I've been running the Kubota 15w/40 too.
