first off you will start an oil war.
second.. hd diesel oil is made to go 10,000 miles between changes on over the road diesels and deliver a million miles between overhauls. This means you can get 10,000 hours between overhauls on tractors using this oil and change it every 500 hours due to the special hd additive package.
It has additives to fight acid build up. Something we need in our tractors, gas or diesel as they set up a lot. the moisture mixes with the sulfer to form a sulfuric acid, and this oil prevent this. It has additives to clean the engine and prevent sludge built up. Something we need. It has anti wear additives.. again, very good. the extra zinc and phosporous will stick only to very hot wear areas and cut the heat and wear down. It has friction modifiers.. again, very good so it gets 3% better mpg over single weight oil. It has viscosity modifiers to make the oil flow good in cold yet it will not thin down in extreame heat, and yet work well in turbo charged engines.. again perfect for gas or diesel tractors. It is low in wax and parafins that sludge up engines when they set up. again good for gas andd disel tractor. It is designed to lower the amount of oil blown out the breather due to the high compression and blowby in the crankcases of hd large engines, again something that helps gas and diesel tractors. its tested in wear, piston scuffing, valve wear, cam wear, piston ring coking, wrist pin wear and about 60 other tests at a higher level than standard gas oil.
hd diesel oils can be had in 15w-40 or 5w-40 weights and are perfect for tractor use. The hd oils have to most additives you can get in any oil and are not good for gas engines that have gas catalytic converters.. but tractors dont have the type of converters, so again, we win.
you can get these oils at any diesel truck stop, at any wal mart, at any tractor store, and at any autoparts..
did you get the part about any tractor dealer??
you can get chevron delo, mobile delvac, or shell rotella. You can get mystic oil, amsoil, purple power in hd diesel oils..
are you starting to get the ideal yet??
the 5w-40 is good for those who snow plow or run tractors in below zero temperatures. the 15w-40 is designed for the rest of us.
recently the additives have be lowered slightly due to emissions on new disel engines being built with dpf filters on the exhuast , so there is a dry clutch motorcyle oil that is still the old formula that is the only oil that is better. It would seem the additives in the hd diesel oil were so good that they would actually coat the hot exhaust filters and render then usless so the government has made us cut back slightly on the additive packages in the newest diesel oils.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
