Can anyone recommend the proper engine oil to use in a Farmall H. I usually use Quaker State motor oils. Thanks Rich

30 SAE is approximately the same vicosity as a 15w40. Todays oil has additives that the old straight weights didn't have.

I'd keep the 15W40 out of your tractor if I were you.That might be OK in Arizona where that gentleman lives,but Ontario is like here in NB,COLD AS HELL.A good quality 10W OR 5w30 works fine,especially if its to be used in the winter.

At one time,they ran straight 10W in the winter,and 30W in the summer,if they got changed at all,which a lot didn't.

All my tractors are in North Dakota, I'm just down here in AZ for a job.

Any oil with a w is rated for winter use. My brother has run 15w-40 in both his Cummins pickups year-round and has had no problems whatsoever. We also run 15w-40 in almost all of our farm tractors, the only exception is the old loader tractor that is run every day gets straight 10w in the winter.

I prefer to use Mobil Delvac 1 5w-40 full synthetic in my rebuilt H.

If not synthetic, use a heavy duty diesel rated oil, 5w-40 or 15w-40. Why? New gasoline spec oils do not have enough zinc in them for flat tappet cams, while diesel rated oils do.

10 40 all the time. High quality oil, not store brands. Some use 15-40 as well. Multi wt oils have the ability to stay thin when cold, and not get thin when hot. Viscosity stabilizers are synthetic components that are only a problem if way overheated, or abused with additives (poured in by hopeful owners) that are not compatible. Two main reasons vehicles last 3 times longer now than they did in the 60s. Quality of oil, and advanced metalurgy. I'll give Multi vis oil 60% of the responsibility. JimN
