Here's why:
* Engine Type and Year: The appropriate oil weight depends on the specific engine model and year of manufacture of your 1310 tractor. Different engines have different tolerances and operating temperatures, requiring varying oil viscosities.
* Climate: The climate you live in also plays a role. You'll need a heavier oil in colder climates and a lighter oil in warmer climates.
* Operating Conditions: How you use your tractor also impacts the oil weight. Heavy-duty use might call for a thicker oil for better protection.
Here's what you should do:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information. It will provide the recommended oil weight for your specific tractor.
2. Consult a Ford dealer or mechanic: They can help you determine the correct oil weight based on your tractor's engine and your local climate.
3. Look for oil specifications: The oil container will list various specifications, including the SAE viscosity grade (like 10W-30 or 5W-40). Look for a grade that meets the requirements listed in your owner's manual.
Important Note: Using the wrong oil weight can lead to engine damage. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
