Thanks from India ❤

Nice video! For those following along, make sure you put the drain plugs back in BEFORE you add new oil. Also, consider using a diesel oil since this is a diesel tractor.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

What type of diesel oil do you use (Brand)?

[@olympusmons4089]

@@appalachiandiy2415 I use Amsoil diesel 10w-30 for my 2106, but a good quality synthetic diesel oil from a farm supply store will do a fine job too. I think Shell also makes a very good diesel oil.

Pretty sure he said to put the plugs back in before adding oil along with saying to wipe them off.

Thanks buddy! Much appreciated.

Very nice video. Easy to find what I wanted to find. Thanks!

That’s a gas oil. You need a 10w30 diesel oil. Gas oil doesn’t have enough antiwear additives.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Interesting. Actually just spent some time looking into this. It seems that diesels have zinc additives "ZDDP" and some others to help with wear. Ill keep looking into this. Thanks for the tip!

[@RickTorn]

SAE 10W-30 is fine. The metal parts don't know what kind of fuel is being burned.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

@@RickTorn Do you use regular car oil as well?

[@henryw.1587]

10w30 Diesel oil isn't as common as 15w40 or 5w40. I haven't seen much if any. To your point, I agree you should run a diesel engine oil vs a 10w30 gasoline engine oil. Diesel engine oil is relatively cheap, and almost everywhere sells Rotella / Delo 15w40. If you need thinner oil for cold climate you can splurge for 5w40. I've ran Rotella 15w40 in my B3300 for years, started in 15-17F temps with 15w40 without issue. The diesel engine oils have an additive package more tailored for a diesel engine. Theres tons of good info on oils and additive packages in each on bobistheoilguy.com

What is the torque on the drain plug?

[@goldblueberries326]

Have you done a video on the hydrolic fluid for the HST system ?

[@hallumdickens]

Noticed you removed the belly mower before draining oil. Any tips on draining oil with belly mower in place?

[@appalachiandiy2415]

try one of those moldable drain funnels

[@hallumdickens]

@@appalachiandiy2415 Great idea, my cardboard drain was a little messy. Thanks.

[@cathiestubes2820]

Like others mentioned your choice of oil is not suitable for diesel engines.

[@leonannegers7874]

So I know this was a year ago video but what about fuel filters?

[@appalachiandiy2415]

I can make a video of that. Would you like to see anything specific?

[@johnnywalker5635]

Is your tractor a gas engine? Or using gasoline synthetic oil in a diesel engine? Yikes! I've never heard of a gasoline Kubota tractor engine.

[@appalachiandiy2415]

No, its a diesel. I've since put diesel type oil in it. Haven't seen any harm using "gasoline type" oil.

[@1patrioticscots]

What is the oil capacity for this tractor (3cylinder diesel)?

[@appalachiandiy2415]

just a little over 3 quarts
