Oil & Fuel motor oil for your compact massey

0w40 and 15w40 are both 40 wt. oil. But 0w will flow and move through the engine faster on startup with less bypass then a 15w.

I agree with ya ray66v about the 10w30 weight. I know this from the manual. I'm going to check with the rotella, that's at advance auto. Thank you all for chiming in.:)

Let's just say i want to use pennzoil thats rated for diesel. 10w30 I'm sure that would be ok. I just have 10w30 oil in my tractor now, the same i use in my dakota truck. Just your basic oil.

You can run any oil that has the "CC" designation. I would venture to say probably just about anything on the shelf will have it.

I have used Pennzoil in my cars, for almost 40 years. But, I would not even consider putting it in either of my diesel tractors.

Most motor oil is not made to provide as high a level of protection against the high levels of soot, and acids, as an oil made just for diesels.

If you want to run just one oil, you would be better off running the diesel oil in everything. Some people do that with Rotella.

CC designation was discontinued back in 1961. That is how far out of date certain parts of the manual are.

Look for the newest C rating on the oil, that is for compression ignitions. As long as you meet ambient temps with the oil, you will be fine.

I emailed AGCO a while back, and adding synthetic lubes to their product line was something they were looking at. Hopefully soon...

Your right, I had forgotten we once discussed that here.

The info I found was that "CC" was introduced in 1961, and obsoleted in 1987.

Even that, is still 6 years before my manual was copyrighted (1993).

Now, if the engine specs were written prior to 1987, (possible if the Iseki they used was a not new design), is there the possibility that the absence of 0w oils being spec'd is due to the fact that they did not exist at the time?

I know 5w blends go back to the 1950's, but I don't remember seeing 0w until the 1990's.

The PDF from API seems to indicate CF or CJ-4 is current for our diesel engines.

If you just buy diesel oil, there is no need to worry.

Thanks Ray. Maybe I got my wires crossed on the dates? I have found a good amsoil guy locally, plsn on running 10W30/30 next winter.

Ray, unless you can show me something different I have not found Rotella approved for VW TDIs and since I have 2 of them one still under warranty. I can not use it as a single oil for all of my diesels. I may change to Rotella when the one is out of warranty though.

So where exactly is everybody getting this Amsoil? I checked the where to buy online and it appears to be sold by individuals? Is it some kind of Avon type thing?

All my newer diesels get Mobil1 5W40 Turbo Diesel. My old late 50's dozer gets Shell Rotella 15W40. Never had any problems.

I think I may switch our MF to that. I currently use it in the VW Jetta TDI, but haven't changed the oil in our MF yet. It is due in another 30 hours or so, though. How long are you going between changes on Mobil 1 TDT?
