Before the weather turned cold here in Wisconsin I changed the oil in a JD 3010. It was not expected to run in the winter months so I put the standard JD 15W40 in both the crankcase and air cleaner.
Well, after the temperatures dropped a little it had to be moved in the shed it was sitting. It flooded up, no choking.
