improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil

every 50 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the
tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year,
