Retired Wrencher 6,929 #1 Posted 43 minutes ago Looking for opinions. I have a B 100 just wondering if I can use 30 weight in the winter I’ve heard people here say it works. I just wondering if I can do this without changing with the seasons. I think the bonus is with these newer engines that has the ACR as opposed to the old engines that don’t I have a 63 64 maybe a 65 10 hp that does not have ACR and I only use that in the summer. It’s not the original engine in a 1056 but it runs good. So let me know your opinion if I can get away using the 30 weight in the winter. Enjoy your day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 80,404 #2 Posted 32 minutes ago Absolutely. I do have one engine that I use 10W-30 in the winter. That's a 16 horse on my plow rig. Starts easier. Other than that most of our engines are straight 30 all year long. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could go that way run them at a safe distance if it gets real cold sub zero type stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One other option for keeping the oil warm in the winter. https://www.amazon.com/JEENDA-1155x-1155-Surface-Thermostat-Equipment/dp/B0G6K1S72V/ref=sr_1_13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
