Does my '52 6400 2-ton w/235 (no filter) need non-detergent oil? How many quarts does it hold? I intend to use it occasionally during Wisconsin winter weather - what oil weight is recommended? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

I would use a 10w30, brand of your choice. Start with 4 quarts, put most of that in and check the level, top off until it's at the full mark.

Be careful calling yourself a expert,because an "EX" is a hasbeen and a"SPERT" is a drip under pressure.

I figured it'd be 30wt, but I'm not sure if non-detergent or not. Thanks for the reply.
