I apologize if this has been covered - but can I use this in my Kubota 7100 with hyro? I want to protect teh engine, but also easy start in cold weather..

Thank you!

Absolutely, Mobil Delvac 1 is what is used in reefer units with Kubota and Yanmar diesel engines for extreme cold climates and extended change intervals..

Rotella (Shell)also has a diesel synthetic. Found it at Tractor Supply at reasonable price. Not sure how much it help winter starts in my part of SC. So far pleased with it.

Just double check the label to make sure you are getting the 'turbo diesel' oil.. The mobil 1 containers always look very similar to me and it can be confusing..

Also the Rotella 5w40 has gotten good reviews.

Close, we have the "dog days of summer". Those are the days you want to lay around on the porch or other shade like an ole dog due to heat and humidity.

We get those days too, nasty humid days.

I have used "Mobil One Turbo Diesel" in my tractors with no problems. It is rated for what you and I have and I called the company to make sure. It is in my turbo JD5520 right now. The label on the container will give you the rating and it will match your owner's manual.
You can also use and readily find John Deere 0W40 synthetic and it is a great oil. I now buy the JD in five gallon pails of JD and save a couple $$. It's $90 for five gallons.
