I'm getting ready to change the engine oil in my Bx2350. It was new last year and I'm assuming came with Kubota 10W30 oil. And after the 50 hr service, again with Kubota 10W30, the water temp consistently ran above normal all summer and the rest of the year with extended use. I've read a thread or two here which stated that by switching to Rotella 15W40, the engine temps ran lower than with 10W30. I've done a half dozen searches and have seen the cooler running temps with 15W40 observation only a couple of times.
My question is--should I switch to Rotella or continue with the Kubota oil--if engine temp is an issue?
By the way, my dealer said that the reason my tractor ran on the warm side was because of the location of the temp sensor relative to the radiator. Anyone heard of this?
