Ok, This should be an easy. I live in Southern California. Looking at the shop manual it shows Above 77 use 10W-30 or 10W-40.
I went to my dealer and they said to use 15W-40.

Thanks

If you use 10-30, 10-40, or 15-40, you should not have any issues.

Like Mike said, any of them are OK, but in my opinion Kubota is sometimes just a little bit behind in updating manuals. I used the 15W-40 in both a B7100 and a B2710, and all my farmer neighbors used it in their larger tractors.
