Synthetic Oil for Motor?

[Dargo]

I've also used Rotella 5w40 synthetic for years in my turbo DK50C and have never had an issue hot or freezing cold weather. I buy it at Wal-Mart they seemto be a couple dollars cheaper than the discount auto stores.

With my equipment, I'm not as concerned about the cheapest oil as a quality oil. You are aware that Wal-Mart sells on pure price; right? I suppose it all depends on what tractor you have and how much longer you plan on having it. If I plan on only having it another year or so, I'd buy the cheapest oil I could find also.

Their refinery is right down the highway from me a few miles. It's the only fuel and oil you'll buy that is guaranteed to be made from oil pumped from under your feet here in the U.S. Their trucks are all around filling crude from oil wells from all around southern IN and southern IL. One thing I really like is that their gas isn't mixed with alcohol (at least at their station about a mile from my house). I don't care what you are told, alcohol in your fuel will result in worse fuel economy and will quickly degrade all rubber and plastic parts that it touches. We have people come from 20 or 30 miles away to that station just for their "pure" gasoline". I'm told that the 'e10' (generally tests 'e15') is particularly hard on smaller engines. I don't work for them, don't have stock in them and don't even know anyone who works for them, but I'd suggest patronizing them.

I have used their oil for years as well as their fuels. It is nice to know that my dollars are staying local. Good stuff also!:thumbsup:
