Just got my Operator's Manual for my JD 4230. In case you are unaware, that is a 1974 100 hp PTO tractor.......like 30 years ago it was manufactured in the USA of all places!!!!!!!! Go to the lubricant's section and it says that above some real cold temps, use only 30w oil and multi-viscosities are not recommended. Pfaaaaaaattttttttt!!!!!!!!!!! Ala. 2005. Go to your friendly JD dealer and he has 15w40 (and 30W) Hd-50 Oil and if you special order you can get synthetic 15w-40 cause they don't stock it; not cause it's junk, but because most people don't buy it cause it costs money!!!!!! But a lot of people don't associate the cost of premium oil vs engine rebuild expenses. And if you read the labels, it says they are approved for all applications of JD equipment and other applications. So for all your poo folks that follow what is in your 30-40-50 year old operators manual about oil selection; you get what you get. Nuf said, and this was a wake up call for you, but why should I care?????????? Mark
