HI TO ALL!!!</P>
I did a search of this forum and still can't find answers to my question so I am posting this in hopes of resolving them. We have about 35 hours so far on the RTV and in the process of getting things needed together to do the servicing. We also have a Cub Cadet Compact tractor, the 5234D with a loader so I'm sure we will be killing two birds with one stone with this question!</P>
We live in the Northeast, just West of Albany, NY and want to know what kind of oil (brand) and viscosity for this type of climate. I use Shell Rotella 15-40W in my F-250 diesel but feel this is too thick for the smaller 21 HP engines. Kubota's D902 and the Dahatsu 21hp in the Cub. Hopefully you all can help me through this inquiry. I do plan on asking the dealer but I like to go in with at least some knowledge as to what to look for. I think too for the time that my rig is still under warranty I will use the Kubota brand recommended for it but still want to be able to have choice and see if there's might be something better at the same time.</P>
Thanks again for this site and all your useful tips and recomends! I visit a lot!</P>
