synthetic oil choices.

You need a block heater and oil heater. Or a heated garage if possible. Even your hydraulic fluid will be tough to warm up at -50.

Very very true! I know I have no need for a "0" weight oil....because at -50 temps Im not going outside for ANY reason!! Let alone use my tractor!

Might be easier to change out your hydro oil to PetroCanada Duratran synthetic. An all season grade good to below -40. Personally, if it gets that low, I'm not going outside . Only place I found it was bulk distributor in 20 litre pails.

No seasonal change outs, and probably cheaper then installing a heater.

Are you using it? If so, how did it perform? We will run on the Permatran this winter, and if need be, we will switch out next summer.

Thanks.
