Probably because Bubba is right here and the OEM's have their design/test criteria buried somewhere and who knows the circumstances and desired outcomes of the testing, including who knows what idiot is writing the tech manual. Additionally, Bubba is real world. OEM testing may not be.
Case in point: Bought a Generac household generator a few years back. Reason was Generac is named for the function, designed and manufactured the V twin running mine...made for the function, not somebody's grab an engine and stuff it, have sold over 1 Million units of the sort and on and on. The owner's manual said to use 30 wt. HD oil. That's it.
Well it happened to be February when I installed it and I don't put 30 wt. in any of my equipment, especially in the winter.
So I dumped in my 0w-30 Mobil 1 and flipped them the audios. That's interesting too as they test run their engines before they ship them for a pretty good length of time to break them in for you. Been over 2 years and still haven't had to add oil.

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.
