Use a good quality diesel rated engine oil. Generally, I use 15W40, unless the tractor does a lot of cold starting, then I use 10W30. Even though your 3000 is gasoline powered, the engine was designed primairly as a diesel, and a good quality diesel engine oil (CI rating) should be used. This will provide a better level of protection than an SJ rated engine oil in an ag application. HTH.
