My problem is that with a mixture of older and newer equipment and vehicles I have seem to need too many different kinds of oil to buy in quantity. For instance I just changed oil on the ATV and the book said use SE or SF. I had SM, SJ, and other designations. I called the Honda dealer and they said if you use the newer grade oils it can damage the seals in the transmission (which is lubricated by the engine oil) and cause the automatic clutch to slip. Of course they will be happy to sell me the proper oil for 6 or 8 dollars a quart. Walmart has something called 4 cycle motorcycle engine oil for around 7 dollars a quart but they were out of it (too high anyway). Just bought a new car that uses 5W20 for better gas mileage and some kind of GSFL? rating. I'm sure the dealer will have a good price for me for the correct oil!!. Do you just give up and go to the farm store and buy 5 gal. cans of 10W40 and put whatever is on the shelf in the older and newer tractors and vehicles? Not to mention the newer oils that aren't oil and cost double or triple. I can just see me using them in the 30 to 50 year old tractors. And then there is the different gear oils and hydraulic oils. I have a shed full of different oils and never the right grade the manuals suggest?
