I'm too cheap to try the synthetic thing, but I dump Lucas or JB products into everything I own. My 61 Ford has 300K, wifes Outback is at 160k, mine, 125k. GMC is pushing 193K.
Oil is not enough. I have no real input on the synthetic vs fossil debate, cause I cheat by doing 'additives'.
I replace a vehicle when rust eats the floors or someone creams it while parked.
I have never replaced a car/truck/machine over a 'failed' engine.(Except when someone borrowed my Toyota, 225k and tried to push it harder than I ever would have)
My oldest Cub was shot when I bought it, so it don't count.

Want to change the oil and filter in the hydro. A lot of posts using mobil 15w-40. Has anyone used a cheaper oil than cub oil with good results?

I too would be interested in finding a synthetic alternative to Cub Cadet hydro oil. I am assuming you meant Mobil1 synthetic diesel oil in 15w40?

No diesel oil, the treads I saw referred to Moble 1 car oil. Also saw treads on Shell 15-40 dino oil.

I am driving my 4th Ford F150 gas engine truck that has reached over 250,000 miles and use the synthetic oil and run open highway most of the time. I have ran all the trucks 15,000 between oil changes and the one I am driving now will normally use 2 qts between changes.I do use Dino oil in my tractors as they are all at least 40 years old and I did not get them new, and enjoy tinkering and changing the oil in them probably way to often.

I use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 10w-30 in my 6.5 hp OHV 3500 watt Champion(Honda Clone)generator,Stihl Synthetic 2 cycle oil in my trimmer,and saws,Mobil 1 10w-30 in all vehicles,Delo 15w-40 Full Synthetic Diesel Oil in my YM2000,and Amsoil MCV 10w-40 in the motorcycles,and ATV.Works well in anything,espessially in the generator,runs much cooler,and smoother.Cant afford the Amsoil in all my stuff,but that Mobil 1 seems to work really well...
