Hi All, Getting darn cold here (BC Canada), -37C today. Anyways, a question about oil viscosity. I have a '55 Case 500 I use to plow snow with. I have 15w40 Synthetic (chevron) in it now ( I know this is wrong). So I want to do an oil change, but dont know what grade to put in. Some older fellas around here swear by straight 10W, and some like 5W30. It usually is around -15C here in winter. I have a pan heater and circulating heater which I use often to get the beast going. Also, why have some people said in the archives NOT to use ether!? I cant start this tractor at any time of year without ether. What would you use for oil???Your advice is apppreaciated. thanks, johnny
