motor oil for yanmar 2000

[bweaver]

Hello I am new owner of a YM 2000. I live in North Ga about 80 miles from Atlanta. Can some one tell me if Rotella 15-40 would be a good choice for motor oil for my tractor? Thanks.

I will be using Mobil 1 Truck and SUV oil in the Yanmar in my X595. This is the same oil as Mobil Delvac 1 Synthetic Oil for heavy duty diesel motors. Got mine at WalMart.

Probably ANY good quality diesel rated oil with the right temp range should be ok. I use sae 30 in florida. ( diesel rated ).. it is a fina product.
