PLEASE HELP!
I need to do the first service on my Kubota ZD331 and I'm confused about the API classifications.
It calls for 15w 40 API class CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4. The manual also states that "The CJ-4 oil is not intended for DPF type engines, and CANNOT be used on this machine."
I then checked a bottle of the Rotella T and it is CJ-4! Glad I read the manual. I have been using the Rotella T in my other two tractors. I was hoping I could run the same oil in the ZD331.
The other machines are an old Kubota B6200 and a Kioti DK50 (these two call for CC or CD)...maybe I shouldn't be running the Rotella T in these either???
and please don't tell me to ask the dealer...
I have my shell lube tech 'working on it', but I would like to change the oil this decade...
DOes anyone know about this stuff?
