Like some of you, My L2501, that I purchased this past April, Has approached 50 hours so I ordered the Kubota kit from Messicks and they came yesterday. So, I did the engine oil/filter change and the manual says 5.7 L (6.0 quarts) quarts. So I measured out 6 quarts, used the new Rotella T-6 (comes in a 2.5 gallon container) and did the hydraulic filter (makes a big mess as it gushes out...lol), fuel filter and air filter. I started 'er up and ran it for a few minutes and then shut down. I waited about thirty minutes and checked the engine oil level...it was about a quart too high on the dip stick. Say what? I had let the old oil drain for a good half hour. I proceeded to drain out exactly one quart into an empty quart oil container. That put it right on the full mark. I am wondering if this is one of those "boo-boo's" that made it into the manual for my engine? Seems I read about some of the translations into English being off somewhat? I measured very carefully to get the correct 6.0 quarts, so this baffles me. :confused2:
