Put it in the engine and it smells like Olive Garden on a Saturday night.
Almost pissed my pants. Lew your the best!

Seriously try Wally world for Rotella T 30W. Pretty much any diesel engine oil has some zinc in it. Mobil Delvac also from Wally is as good or better than Rotella.

I found Rotella T1 Straight 30W at my local AutoZone store. I plan to start using it in my K321 engine. Sounds like pretty good oil: http://www.shell.com/rotella/products/t1.html

I use the Amsoil in my KT17 II with external oil filter changed once a year. Tractor gets about 35 hours a year.

My K301's get Shell Rotella T 30wt changed once a year. They all get less than 25 hours of use.

Another vote for Shell Rotella 30w; good stuff for small engines, and not too bad on the wallet, to boot.

I get it by the gallon at my local Wallyworld, they ALWAYS have it in stock but oddly, I've not seen it at my local Autozone, O'Reilly's, or Napa

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
