I always here guys talking about what is the right engine oil to use. My Farmall M was originally lubed with a straight 30W. Back then there were no additives and these tractors have survived many years of running on unadditised oils. I am an STLE (CLS) and I have worked with the production and testing end of oils for more years than I care to mention. Anymore I am really wondering. Yes, we always did performance testing in the lab and one oil always out did another. In the long run though I don"t think that it matters.I have one buddy who only runs an SAE 30 in everything he owns. He uses it in his Honda Civic, an F150 gasoline engine, a Dodge with a Cummins diesel engine, several other gasoline and diesel powered farm tractors, etc. He says all you have to do is keep it changed on a regular basis. Now knowing him I believe he is right, because he never seems to have engine failures. What do you guys think?

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
