I started using syn oil in my 2001 Chevrolet K1500 at about 60,000 miles. I now have 132,000 miles and it gets a filter change at 5,000 and new oil at 10,000. I run M1, Syntec, or Valvoline; which ever is on sale. Never had an issue swapping syn brands, no sludge, no leaks. I have a Snapper ZTR mower with a Kohler engine. Kohler recommends waiting 50 hours before using syn oil to allow rings to seat in. I have 37 hours on it and counting... My wifes Mini Cooper S has Castrol Syntec in it from the factory. BMW's recommmended oil change intervals is 20,000 - 25,000 miles or 1 year. It is under 4 year warranty and they change the oil, so I quit arguing with them on that one. 1.6L TURBO 4 cyl, 8,000 redline, 180 HP, little aluminum engine, 25K oil change... This car will do 5.9 sec 0-60 and run out to 140 mph only limited be electronic speed control and this is their engineered oil change interval.
If your tractor has a recent OH, I'd run syn oil and not look back. If it is a loose engine, worn rings, bearings, seals, ect, WHY? I agree. In cold weather you may need 5w-30. An oil pan heater helps ad holding the clutch down while cranking.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
