I was told that 10-20s and Regulars ran 6lbs right out of the box. I have a cousin who rebuilt his Regular and put a aftermarket oil gauge on it and would show pressure so he wouldn't run the tractor for a couple years. I found out about the 6lbs and he bought the right gauge for it and the needle went right up to where it was supposed to run at so now he takes it to shows. The oil pump only lubes the oil troughs for the rod dippers to catch and a line goes to the timing gears/governor area. the rest is slash lubed and there are troughs cast into the block to catch the oil and direct it to the mains and cam bearings. Oil flow is good! no flow is bad! I use straight 30wt or even 40wt if hot out and working hard. I use only detergent oil if the engine has an oil filter. If no filter use non detergent and clean out the pan once a year to get the sludge out and change oil more often.
