I inherited a 60' Gas D17, and was wondering what grade oil do you guys use? 30w? 10w-30? I live in Nebraska it does get cold here and this tractor is used to move snow. Also what capacity of oil. Working on getting a shop manual so I don't have to ask dumb questions anymore, just want to have it ready for the snow. |

In the winter I put 0W-20 Mobil 1 in the CA so I can get it started. For winter use, I would at least put 5W-30 in it.

I have a Series III D-17 and the operators manual in front of me. The capacity of the engine oil is listed as 6 quarts. The recommendations for engine oil are:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lowest Expected Operating Temp SAE Visc Oil Milti-Visc. Oil 90 degrees 30w 10w-30 20 degrees 20-20w 10w-30 Below 20 degrees 10w 10w-30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope that helps Tony |

I use straight 30w all year 'round. The Hooter is shedded, but it ain't heated. Actually one of the mysteries of the world - why is it colder inside a steel building than outside? Anyway, she started up fine last winter, even when the thermometer inside the shop said -20F. Had to choke it though.
It has an old block heater with no plug on the end, I have been thinking about putting a plug on it and seeing if it works. One of these days......
cheers,
Creek
