MF 1130
I just purchased a 1968 MF 1130. The manual calls for 10w-30 motor oil. Can I use 15w-40?

Yes, 15-40 will be fine.

Gas or Diesel?
 
   / MF 1130 OIL #4  
Perkins 6.354 turbo diesel.

10w-30 is old stuff. You could use 0w30 or 5w30. You really don't need xxw40 if it calls for 10w30.

Who makes readily available diesel oil in 0w-30 or 5w-30?

How about Rotella full syn 5w40.

That's 40w diesel oil. Not 0 or 5w-30. I was pointing out that it appeared Ralph was recommending gasoline engine oil for a tractor. I would MUCH rather use a 40w diesel oil in a diesel that calls for 30w rather than a gasoline 30w oil.
