I purchased a used L35 in June of 2008. It had 122hrs on it and the previous owner had just changed the engine oil & filter. I don't know when or if the hydraulic /transmision fluids & filters were changed. The unit looks well cared for so I assume It's had good service.
I'm going to change the engine oil & filter and I'm thinking of using Shell Rotella 15-40. I'm thinking of staying with a Kubota Filter but welcome any comments or suggestions on either oil or filter if equal to or better are available. I would think that Kubota OEM parts are pricey but if they're worth it, I'll go for it.
Hydraulic system fluids and filter. I'm thinking of staying with Kubota fluids after reading some of the generic stories on this site. The book suggests for Super UDT but I'm not sure what's in it now. Are UDT & Super UDT the same color and can someone tell me what color they are. I'm trying to determine whats in it now.
I probably should go ahead and change both hydo fluid and filter because I have no way of knowing if the 50hr. service was performed. Any suggestions on future hydro filter change. Should I change the filter every year and just add hydraulic fluid as needed? Should I change the filter every so many hours of use?
