I did the 100 hr oil change this afternoon. I didn't change the oil filter because the manual only calls out to change the oil, not the filter. This seems weird to me because on any vehicle I have ever owned I change the filter every time I change the oil. But this is my first tractor and I figure Kubota would be much more knowledgable than me. But now I am wondering if I should have changed the filter also, because I don't know what kind of oil the dealer used on my 50 hr oil change. So if I didn't change the filter it means there is some of the previous oil in the system. Now if the oil isn't the same as what the dealer previously used is that an issue? My manual states (unfortunately I didn't notice this until after I did it) that you should not mix oils of different viscositys or makes and if you do change oils, make sure you get all of the previous oil out. Do I need to change the oil now again and also replace the filter, or will I be all right until my next service? All input is appreciated. - Thanks Trav
