A vote here for Rotella T 15W/40. I use it in my PowerStroke, my 2750 Kubota, all my old muscle cars and all my small engine stuff like CC's.

Is that the right stuff? Dunno' because I can't find Rotella T in the owner's manual for this stuff but they seem to like it because they've been running on it for years.

I always have used Cub Cadet oil from my local dealer. A quart is no more expensive at the dealership as for what TSC is charging. My next choice is Kohler engine oil.

I leave the guess work to the off-brand engine oils.

Put it in the engine and it smells like Olive Garden on a Saturday night.
LMFAO

UPDATE: Changed oil on my K321 after 10 hours on Rotella T1 30W. Oil is fairly dirty, but it appears to still be the same consistency as fresh 30W. Not exactly scientific, but I am impressed with Rotella T1 30W!

I agree! 1 oz. of AR9100 per qt. This is the only additive I have ever seen actually work. This stuff is absolutely worth the money!

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.
