RED Top Mobil 1; 15w50 is a replacement for the 20w50
we often use w/ dino oil. 

If the motor was a brand new rebuild and the temps
were real cold out I might concider a 5w something,
esp on one of these new motors (like a WRX), but with
the Tractor motor we have, and with the extended
service (read- miles) I'd be sugesting next oil change
switch u p to the 15w50.
