What is a good weight oil for a Farmall 450 in NW Wis.

Dalex · Nov 11, 2013

The forum generally recommends 15-40 Delo or Rotella .No need for synthetic....

15/40. In the 'old days',there was no such thing as multivis oils.The mfg recomended different wts according to the average seasonal temperature.With the (superior) modern multiviscosity oils,that is no longer an issue.Run 15/40 year'round.

With winter coming why not 5-30 in the old days we used 10wt in the M for the winter

I a a little south of you by Lacrosse and I use 15-40 year round in farmall M H and a TO30. Any of them will start in the winter.

Use 5W-30 oil if it needs to start un-aided in the winter.

I would run a 10W-30 if it needs to start this winter in unheated storage, otherwise 15W-40. I am partial to Delvac, others like Rotella.

I would agree with the 15-40 or if you don't want to use that then get some 20-20w. We used to run that winter and summer in a variety of things from old cat diesels to cars. In mid MI area North east of Lansing.
