make sure it says "for Diesel use" when you get the Synthetic oil.

Rotella T6 is a heavy duty diesel oil. Works well in all temperature ranges.

Although any of the oils mentioned would be suitable for your engine,I would be inclined to choose a CI-4 rating since it's the latest specification available to you.
It sounds like you still have diesel fuel with a higher sulpher content than we have here in the US.
Good Luck!

ok, here in Brazil I found the Shell Rimula R6 100% synthetic API: CI-4, CH-4, CG-4, CF-4, I will start using, in Brazil there is not Shell rotella t6.
Temperature here is 86 ° F.

Thank you very much.

Yes, this oil is a very good choice for your tractor. In Brazil you do not yet have engines requiring CJ-4 oil. CI-4 oil is the best choice for you.
