Mike: I wonder why Kubota even bothered to list it in their specs?? ( The CD, CE rating??) Since..if I read the printed out chart correctly...CF has all the properties ( and more of course) as the two lesser.??

Show DO! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Do a search on Rotella and look at the specs. Its doesnt cover ALL the specs that the 15W-40 does...but it IS rated for diesels and IS a 10W-30 oil..

It could be that whomever makes their oil either didn't want to go to the expense of certifying it or didn't think they needed to since the classification didn't apply to the equipment they sell. It costs quite a bit (or so I've read) to certify an oil.

If you like Mobil-1 synthetic for your gasoline engines, you'll love Delvac-1 for your diesel http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/Lubes/PDS/GLXXENCVLMOMobil_Delvac_1_5W-40.asp

Hmmmmm.
Seems to be turning into an oil thread.
Personally, I use Mystic JT8 15-40 in the Kubby, the Massey, the Lincoln gas welder, the 350 Ford Powersmoke, the MTD lawn tractor and my portable generator.
My Tracker and my wife's Ranger get Motorcraft 5-30 Synthetic Blend.
I use Amsoil 20-50 in my Triumph, 5-30 in my standby genset.
I use Mobil Rarus VG100 compressor oil in my recropricating compressors, Shell Spirax 85-140 in my diff's and gear boxes and Shell Donax spindle oil in my lathes and milling machines, Harig high film strength way oil on my slideways, Valenite VNT700 full synthetic in my flood coolant units and Mobil full synthetic high temperature grease in my bulk greaser.
I think that covers it all with the exception of the Marvel Mystery Oil that I squirt in my air tools on ocassion and wipe my machines down too. I forgot, a couple of cans of PB Blaster for the stubborn nut. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
