Overview
Mike shares his personal stance on OEM vs. aftermarket oils and filters, essentially recommending you stick with manufacturer fluids, not because he has lab data, but because of how he was raised and the peace-of-mind argument. He openly admits he can't prove OEM oils are superior and suspects they're similar. Best for first-time tractor owners wondering about the 50-hour service cost shock; thin on hard facts.
