when you think the temperature is going to reach 0 degrees Fahrenheit or colder at a time when your vehicle is parked outdoors. Regular diesel fuel will get too thick to feed into the engine at very cold temperatures.
Diesel fuel sold in the winter months comes in a special winter blend already designed to prevent freeze up, so it doesn't matter what you use as long as you buy it after they start shipping the winter formula.
Diesel #2. During the winter in the states that get regular temperatures in teens and below, you should use diesel #1 because diesel #2 will gell at lower temperatures.
it is the same
we should use petrol and diesel with care because it can cause fire and many can get injured.
you should use 5W20 for winter. It's best for cranking in winter.
10/40 is ideal for this injection Diesel engine ==new answer== I would always use a semi-synthetic blend,much better protection than straight mineral.I use Millers oils,the Vauxhall branded sem-synth is very good too.
No, it is not recommended to put rubbing alcohol in a diesel engine. Rubbing alcohol is not formulated for use as a fuel additive and can cause damage to the engine. It's best to use diesel fuel additives that are specifically designed for diesel engines.

15w40
The oil to use for the 26hp Kohler motor on a Craftsman garden tractor will depend on the temperature outside. Use a 10-30 blend in the summer and a 5-30 blend in the winter months. The brand of oil does not matter as long as it is not a synthetic blend.
Just use a good quality oil that is designed for diesel engines.
Because it is winter, it is cold and you have a diesel engine. They use glow plugs to help ignite diesel in cold weather. Have the glow plugs checked.
