I have heard, and been told, conflicting stories on the type of oil that an N likes best. What do you wise sages suggest for my 8N in northern MI for spring and summer?
Thanks for the educational and supportive board.

15W-40 all year long in every tractor. No problems in 50 years.

Al,

There is a poll going on on the N Series web site at this moment on this topic. The results now are:

Non Detergent: 224
Single weight Detergent: 318
Multi Weight Detergent: 457
Synthetic: 61
Other: 15

I use 10w/30 in my rebuilt 8N. My opinion is that the oil you use depends on the condition of your engine, your location, and your preferences.

Al,
I live in central N.Y.. I use 30wt year round,
and I keep the 9n under cover when not in use.
I have had no problems.

Straight 40 wt is what is called for in spring/summer and 30 wt in winter, although a 10w30 might be better way up there.

Hi Al. I have a 9N at camp that I use all year long, for plowing, grading, mowing, plowing snow etc. I use 10/30 Detergent Oil all year around and have been for over 25 years. During the real cold weather, I use one of the small magnet electric heaters to warm it up a little before starting. I'm back in the woods using a generator and this works out fine. Any further questions, just send me an email. Ron
