Like Soundguy said just make sure you get the diesel rated oil. One thing besides the 12 years and 200,000 miles. Is that i do not use any oil with that many miles that speaks alot for the quality of the protection you are getting. Also keep in mind your tractor does not have a turbo like my truck does which bakes the oil and has more of a chance of breaking down the oil.

Yup, the turbo is the sole reason I use a syn oil in my f350/450. The tractors sans turbo get ground up dinosaur

The two biggest "maintenance" problems are:
1) Using the WRONG stuff (not rated for, knock-off, square peg for a round hole, etc)
2) Not at least following the manufacturer's suggested intervals, or more frequent
The BRAND of what you use to accomplish the above is not, in any manner, the important factor.
