        Hi all,

        I have a FarmPro 2425 tractor and am about to do the first oil change. I live in Central East Florida and winters seldom go below freezing and most of the time the temps are warm. What is a good brand/weight for engine oil in my location? Thanks for any help!!

          Any good brand will do as long as it meets API classification CH-4, CI-4, or CJ-4. This will be on the container label in the API “Doughnut”. Most people, I believe, use Shell Rotella 15w-40 and Chevron Delo400 15w-40 because they are rated for four stroke diesel service, and are good for year ’round use. But beginning in December of ’16 the designations are going to morph again to “CK”.
