Going to be running my B414 (new to me) this winter for snowblowing my driveway.
I have questions on what oils I should be using.
Temps here can dip to around -30 degres Celsius (-22 Fahrenheit) but at that temp we don't usually get much snow (other than drifts) and it doesn't happen very often.
What do you suggest you use for engine oil?
One friend suggested I use a lubricant additive to the diesel to decrease wear on my injection pump due to the lower sulfur levels in today's fuel. Does everybody now use lubricants because of that?
Also, I picked up a reprint of the owners manual and it shows using an SAE30 engine oil in the hydraulic system. Is that what I'm supposed to use?
Thanks
