This has probably has been asked dozens of times with a different model but I am going to ask anyways. I have a Kioti DK6010SE in need of an oil change. What oil is recommended. The manual lists:

Tier2 or 3 (Without dpf) - ApI Ch grade above
Tier4 (With dpf) - ApI CJ grade above
SAE 10W30, 10W40, 15W40

You're more likely to easily find API CK oil, which is fine. In New England if you run your machine in the winter, I would vary from the OEM list and use a 0w 30 or 40 or 5w30 or 40.
I run 0w40 in my 3 machines.

What are your thoughts about using Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic SAE 5W-40? Seems to be popular and good quality.

We all have our preferences, T6 enjoys a good reputation and it's a popular oil. Stick with a CK though for the emissions.

I'm not sure I understand "Stick with a CK though for the emissions.". I'm a first time tractor owner and this is all new. Ultimately, I want to put good oil in my machine so I can run it as long as possible especially since I tend to run it pretty hard.

Just that if your Kioti has dpf emissions it is important to use the correct API oil classification.

Got ya. Looks like the Rotella is a CJ I believe which appears to meet their standards. Any suggestions on a CK classification oil? I'm reading 0W-40 would be best although that is not a weight that is list. In fact, neither is 5W-40

If you are super interested in oil performance in your piece of equipment you could always send out a sample for a analysis. Dont like the numbers change brand and try again.

A Rotella 15W40 should be fine? Average temps usually don't get lower than the teens and typically an average high in the high 70's low 80's
