Oil & Fuel CK20 oil change

hfields · Jul 10, 2011

New owner of a 2006 Kioti CK20 with FEL. Really like the tractor so far.http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif Much more capable than I thought it would be. I need to change the engine oil and haven't had a chance to get an owners manual.Could someone post the amount of oil required for a change with filter replacement?

Thanks

Welcome to the pack!
I use a Napa 1334 oil filter and Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40. I get the oil at Wal-mart and the fiter at my local Napa auto parts store. Napa also has the air filter, 6449 and fuel filter, 3389.

Takes 2.6 liters or .69 gal according to the manual soo just a little shy of three qts.

Oops! Duh! :ashamed: I guess I told him eveything but what he asked for. Mine takes close to 3.5 quarts with a filter change. I kinda sneak up on it. I put in enough oil to bring the level up to the high level mark, then start it up and run it a few minutes to fill the filter, shut it off. Wait 1/2 an hour, then top it off.

3.5 quarts?
I've never used a whole 3 quarts, I put about 1/2 a quart in the filter and 2 in the engine then start and run for a bit before checking. It usually takes another 1/4 of a quart or so but never a full 3 quarts.

Everyone,
Thanks very much for the information. This is a great forum for a Kioti owner and I have already gained quite a bit of practical information from here.

You put 1/2 a quart in the new filter? Hummmm. I make a big enough mess trying to get the old filter off since it is mounted sideways. How do you keep the oil in the new filter while screwing it on? I went out and took a look again at what is left in the 5 quart container and it looks like there is about 1 1/2 quarts still in the container. My tractor oil level after setting over night is just a pinch (1/16") over the full mark right after I changed it. Not sure why mine holds more oil, didstick manfacturing difference, oil pan difference?
