If it's T4 or T6, yes it is. Regular dino oil for diesel engines is low ash, as is Cub Cadets oil and many others.Ok guys. Help a fellow out

I too figured it was some eco B. S. . Now one has to find an additional container to dump the old oil. Like switching from paper bags to plastic, to save tree a but now we are back to paper. Knee jerk politicsThat's for environmental protection. The cardboard box is easier to recycle and the bag is less plastic than a bottle.
Is it still suggested to use a straight weight, if so can someone tell me why. Just curious.

Finally, a simple answer to a simple question. Not a long-winded reply explaining recommended oils in late model engines, catalytic converters, etc.. As I said before, too much information becomes misinformation. I wish topics would stick to what pertains to the title of this forum, "International Cub Cadet", with one exception, early MTD Cub Cadets.If it's T4 or T6, yes it is. Regular dino oil for diesel engines is low ash, as is Cub Cadets oil and many others.

I have a 129 and I use a straight 30 for the summer and for the winter I use a 5-30. My question is: a straight weight oil was always recommended, which I have been doing. Is it still suggested to use a straight weight, if so can someone tell me why. Just curious.

I agree, post # 2 also answered the question that was asked.This is the OP's original question that started this thread. Post 2 was the simple answer. Post 25 was why I thought so. They were both on target.
You're welcome

I know zinc is important
I ruined an Isky cam in my 354 Hemi because of lack of proper zinc level
Just dig a hole in the ground like our Grandfathers didI too figured it was some eco B. S. . Now one has to find an additional container to dump the old oil. Like switching from paper bags to plastic, to save tree a but now we are back to paper. Knee jerk politics
That's where the oil comes from anyway, you would just be recycling it back to where it came from... Just kidding of course! Our local land fill takes it free of charge and I believe there are a few other legal sites to leave it around the small town I live in. The thing is I think it all goes to people with a used oil burning furnace. I don't see how that can be any better.Just dig a hole in the ground like our Grandfathers did
Govt regulations always means BIG$$$Safety Kleen highway Robbery! We also have auto business. To get the drains cleaned out is outrageous
