Suggested oils for DK35

HOMERUN7 · 08-05-2006, 06:47 PM

I recently bought a used DK35 with about 800 hrs. Just wondering what engine oil others use as well as hydraulic and grease for joints on the tractor and the 1450 loader.

For motor oil I run 5w-40 Rottella T synthetic in my DK 35.
For the transmission I just run a Tractor hydraulic/transmission oil (Wal Mart Super Tech oil or Traveller trans/hydraulic oil from Tractor Supply).
The DK 35 is a nice machine, good luck with it..

Ditto on a DK45s!

I use Citco 15w40. and change the oil and filter every 50 hours. With filters under $6 it just makes my mind rest easier. I use Traverler grease and Traveler trans/hydralic oil.
