I live in florida, I've switched all my units to 15w40 C rated oil, except 1.
Since I've got so many tractors.. i don't get tons of hours on each one.. so i do yearly oil changes.
as for dino vs synthetic.. I run dino oil in all my diesel and gas tractors except 1, and in my trucks, i run valvoline 5w40 synthetic ultra blue C rated oil.
the 1 exception I keep mentioning is a 1963 ford 4000 gasser.. I just recently had to go thru the head and top end as I had stuck valves and bent pushrods.
I cleaned it up real good and got her back going.. but found tons of deposits on the intakes....
I went to a 10w30 S rated synthetic oil in that tractor to see what the detergent package does for her. the S rated syn oil was quite a bit cheaper thant he C rated syn oil... and for a gasser.. the S rated syn oil is more than fine.. way better than what was available in 63..
as for adds? I put a lil atf in my gas and oil, plus now use seafoam and stable in all my gassers after that weired fouling on the intakes in that tractor. think i may have had a bad batch of gas that turned and gummed her up perhaps..

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
