I am currently running 15W40 diesel engine oil in mine, works great, no problems. There is no reason for it to foam, its a little heavier but it needs the extra viscosity to keep the bearings and wear surfaces lubricated when the oil heats up and thins down. If its too thin you can cause massive damage to your piston pumps. You can buy the rite stuff off your dealer, but engine oil is essentially the same stuff. Its even in the manual to use engine oil if you can't get bobcat's oil</p></blockquote><p></p>
