Straight 30 Oil, winter Starts Chewing up Flywheel

Posted by Spence on October 11, 2005 at 10:53:23 from (209.226.181.47):

I'd like to switch to 5W30 in my 424 diesel for cold weather. The Starter grinds a bit before engaging and but doesn't in summer.

When I bought the tractor the owner said he just had an engine job done on it, so I figure the engine's still a bit tight.

Could I use 5W30 in cold weather and switch back to straight 30 in summer?

Thanks
