Can I put tractor engine oil in my pickup?

[Post Driver]

I have some Ambra Unitek 10W-40 here that goes in the NH T5, can it go in my DMax?

The API CJ4 and ACEA E9 match

Cheers

Can’t see why not, if the specs and viscosity match.

Be fine. It’s low ash so it won’t block the dpf.

If the cars or land rover need a top up... its tractor oil they get.


Never done no harm

I've ran Deere Plus 50 in my Ford ranger for several years
Tightest bit on the the truck, the engine

My Ranger and Fiesta both have their engine oil straight from the barrel of tractor oil. One's about to turn 250 000 miles, and the other will reach 200 000 miles after the summer, so not doing bad on it!

Mechanic I knew used to run Case No.1 engine oil in his BMW because it exceeded all the specs. Think it was either a 328i or M3 (E36)

I always think any oil is better than no oil!

Everything gets ‘farm universal’ here including the shogun and lawn mower

Be betr with engine oil for the engine as opposed to universal as its not as good for an engine

The gear box failures common in Land Rovers were slashed when they introduced a new gear box oil, MTF 94? I don't think I'll be using tractor oil in my LR, but then that's dictated by sentiment, not reason!

Be prepared....she was a drift slut for a while after they dropped like a stone a few years back. She was meant to go for a restoration in March, but obviously didn't happen. Parked in the barn now. I have every receipt of money spent on it down to the original bill of sale. Still has a full BMW service history as well (bar the oil changes by me inbetween times)

If she's been drifted then the engine will need a rebuild. The just bounce them off the limiter all the time!

What year fiesta is it

 

[Hooby Farmer]

@Brisel to be honest long term it would benefit from it but didn't get a terrible amount of abuse. But at the minute it's got a real good heart and probably the quietest vanos unit I've heard so will be good for a good few years driving yet.

I put JD engine oil in my old car. was the right grade.
Nearly killed the old girl! Made her sluggish as hell.
