Hey there Steve, your post However, I do regular oil changes. I think keeping clean oil is more important than 'brand'. Just thinkin'...... WILL LIKELY DRAW A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS so I may as well go first lol
I tend to agree keeping oil clean may be more important than brand BUT I WILL ADD PROVIDED YOU COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES AND USING SIMILAR QUALITY OILS NOTTTTTTTTT some el cheapo or re processed or filtered and cleaned or whatever or low grade/quality etc inferior products !!!!
There are several quality brands out there and I doubt anyone here has all the data and detailed scientific test results to prove or disprove quality brand A is better or worse then equal quality brand B BUT HEY WE CAN ALL STILL HAVE OUR OPINIONS AND SHARE OUR EXPERIENCES.
Its my opinion the choice of oil for use in an older worn out farm tractor IS NOT AS CRITICAL OR IMPORTANT AS THE OIL USED IN A MODERN AUTOMOBILE.
FWIW (same as others opinions not much lol) in my modern automotive/truck engines I still change oil maybe 3000 to 4000 miles even if others may not as often, since I consider it CHEAP maintenance. I also use Full Synthetic and the grade called for in the owners manual. If an old worn out farm tractor I use cheaper oil.
Soooooooo no way to prove or disprove any of this, its ONLY one opinion and it will be fun to hear other opinions which Im sure you will get to any best brand of oil type of question.....
PS I will proudly admit Ive used Mobil 1 and Castrol Magnatek Full Synthetic oils (talking modern machines here) and they worked fine and bet others have used different oils which also worked fine and are best in their opinion....
John T God Bless America where we are free to have different opinions (for now at least lol)
