Thank you Gene....and a couple others, for expressing some decent common sense....what we always referred to as 'horse sense'.
People for the most part ignore me like a boil on their a$$.....(can't deny I am there, but resent the hell out of me being so) because I tell them what they don't want to hear.
Over and over again, these OIL questions are repeated. People have been raised to believe that there is magic in a bottle. Uncle Goober swore by brand X and cursed brand Y and therefore Opie is scared $hitless to use anything but brand X.
Then there is the person who ONCE upon a time had some problem, attributed it to a certain type of oil (detergent usually) and from that day forward, have blamed it for all sorts of BS.
Then there is the @nal retentive types, who bury their nose in a manual of any type..regardless of vintage and believe every word verbatim. If it is a Ford manual and specifies Ford oil, then come hell or high water, the moron believes it has to have that label on it (duh!, god help us). If it is a Farmall...they will search the nation, coast to coast, looking for HyTran. The list goes on and on.
As one gentleman stated, the oil they were using years ago, was inferior to anything on today's market.
How anybody, can go buy oil off the shelf and pour it in their new $35,000 automobile without fear, yet take a case of the dribbling $hits when it comes to using it in a worn out tractor, is beyond me.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
