Looking for anyone using 10w30 oil year around in their Kubota. Especially interested in used oil analysis on 10w30.

It's recommended for my bx2380 and L2500. So it's the weight I run.

I use 15W40 year around in all of my Kubotas but 10W30 is fine, better even in cold climates.

15W40 in both my tractors year round. Pushing 16 years and about 1,700 hours on the B2910, around 1,200 hours on the BX2200. Southwestern PA.

No issues and no oil consumption between oil changes, which are usually overdue when done. :eek:

I use Shell Rotella 15-40 in my 2007 Motor Coach with a Cummins, 2004 Dodge Cummins PU, Onan diesel generator, and now my second Kubota. Never had a starting issue, all my vehicles are kept in unheated garages or barns. I add anti gel to the fuel and keep battery chargers/maintainers on all batteries.

It is not unusual for the temperatures in my buildings to get below or near zero for days at a time.

I’m one of those silly persons who runs 15w40 in the summer and 10w30 over the winter. :D

I have been running Kubota branded 10w-30 year round but as I use Rotella T6 5w-40 in both my diesel cars year round, I will likely switch the M over next oil change.

Kubota 10-30 most of the time, if the oil change cycle comes up in the spring I’ll use Kubota 10-40 for the summer. 10-30 has the widest temp range in the manual.

I started with 10w30 and switched to 5w40 syn last year. Starts better in the extreme cold and no loss between changes.
