Kubota engine oil

[goeduck]

I can't get this site to function properly. Maybe it's just me. Does it offer info on synthetic oil choices and off road farm equipment?

The first link lists the different Rotella oils and describes each. References are mostly trucks.

The second link is a forum on motorcycles starting off talking about Rotella T5 or T6.

I scanned them but did not see farm equipment mentioned. Maybe it was there.

Rotella Change it every 15000 miles. Went 1385000 miles before I had it inframed. Have around 650000 miles on the inframe. Don't have to add any between changes

Impressive. What engine oil do you use?

To each their own but why would you spend $20k+ on a tractor then want to save $20 by going with conventional oil? I use synthetic because it gets very cold up here but I would use it anyway. Is it needed? Probably not. I usually plan on keep my cars to around 150k miles. I plan on keeping my tractor for the rest of my life. We aren't talking about outright failure but just how worn the engine will be 20 years (or more) from now. Even if you change your oil every year than you're only talking $600 over 30 years.

Surely that's a good engine to start with but that many miles has to mean you have driving habits that help out in a big way. What are you doing, or not doing that has helped that engine last so long?

Rotella T 15-40 in my L2550DT. 5600 hours on it so far and the only thing I have done to the engine is to regularly adjust vales.

It gets an oil change every 100 hours.
