Is it gas or diesel? T5 is fine for gas, T6 for diesel.
Well it is diesel tractor but the label said it is for diesel? I'm confused?

You're good to go. It's Diesel rated. Far better quality than when the Iseki 3 cylinder came out 40+ years ago. The GCs have been using the same basic engine for 25 years now. For a lot of winter use if stored unheated, may want to switch to a 0W or 5W oil.

Personally use Mobil Delvac 0W40. Its all about price and availability.

Ok thanks for the advice this tractor is always stored inside out of the weather especially in the cold never more than 40 degrees inside in the coldest months.

I have used Shell Rotella T 10w-30 in my 2007 JD2520 for 18 years with no issues.
