I use 15w40 rotella and a little bit of Lucas in my 1572. I also suggest the kubota filter or a fleetguard filter. Also to lubriacte the top end of the cylinders and injector and injector pump use lucas fuel treatment int he winter and 2 cycle oil on summer in your fuel.

Rotella 15W40 is good stuff. Used to get 20,000 hrs on my Cats with it before overhaul and the bearings were still in spec. I use it in my Kubota BX as well as my gas engines. As far as filters I like NAPA gold or Wix filters. Just my 2 cents.

I use Rotella T 15w-40 in everything. Makes not having to keep 3 or 4 different weights of oils around. It doesn't hurt gas engines at all. Even my 444 Case calls for 15w-40 in the hydraulic system.

That all depends on what engine it is. Newer motors have very tight tolerances, and if you run that heavy of oil in them you can damage the bearings. The oil is too thick and just opens the bypass valve in the oil pump. Oil starves the bearings.

Oh.... and this thread is from 5 years ago.....

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
