Can any tell me what engine oil is required for 1957 FMD. Have a full manual that does not mention any of the types of oils. Do I need a diesel engine oil, super(20w-50) or standard 30w. I hear that the gearbox & diff take 30w. Is this correct? Any advice would be much appreciated.

I personally use 15w-40 in all of the boxes including the engine.

If you check the archives this topic has been discussed frequently.

Sir
I also have a 57 FMD and use 30W quality oil in the engine and 90 weight in everything else. I also have the manuals, which are home and I'm in the office but I'm sure that's what the manuals call for. Remember, the manuals were printed in England and they have a different vocabulary than us when it comes to fuel and lubercants etc.

Sir,I also have an FMD tractor, year unknown. I use Hytran fluid as the resevoir serves the hydralic system as well as the transmission.
