varmitr, we run 15-40 synthetic year round, both skid steers have kubota engines and soon as the temp drops below -5 or so they are always plugged in. one has a block heater the other a circulating heater. eveerything we own is diesel, the only thing i run lighter oil in is my f-350, change to 0-30 in the winter months. i dont think the 0-30 will hurt anything, with only a 38 hp machine i assume you are not working it to hard, so you should be fine.
do you have the universal plate on your machine?
we have the wheat land model auger. the thomas machines run 21 gpm flow rate, that is the only thing you will have to watch when you pick an auger up, ensure you match the flow rate of the auger to your machine. with ours we can run a 12 inch but in hard ground it will slow right down.
anyways hope this helps a little, take care, rob
