Oil Equivalents

Scrambler82 · Jul 6, 2019

I have searched for Oil/Lubricant and filter alternatives for my Max28 and have come up with almost nothing.

Is there a posting that is dealing with all of the Oils and Filters needed on a Mahindra Tractor ?

I am at the point where I need to do my next Service, well actually next two - 200 and 250 hour check up, but I have been in the dirt and dust, and debris and wan too do a complete fluid/filter change, and I do not want to go to a Mahindra Dealer, just don't want to spend the extra money.

Anyone know of a list, a posting, a Site that has the info... please let me know !

Thanks for reading / Ltr !

Any of the name brand THFs will work for hydraulic oil. As for filters, check with your local auto parts stores for cross references. Be careful of the HST filters. They are a high pressure filter. My dealer was fine with all aftermarket filters but warned against an aftermarket HST filter. A lot of filters will fit and look the same but aren’t designed for the HST.

Thanks I will keep it in mind.

I typically order all the filters for my Max 26xl as a set from billstractor.net. They are the Mahindra filters but much cheaper there and as a kit vs individually from any dealer. I also use Schell RotellaHD tractor hydraulic fluid and Schell Rotella diesel engine oil. Both seem to be working very well in my Max. I'm still within the factory warranty so I'm sticking with their filters so far.

Thx for the info.
I was just out on Bill's Site and was wondering if the pricing was good ?

Where did you buy the Shell Rotella Products, Parts Store, Ag Store or On-Line ?

I am thinking this is the best way to go.

Again Thanks

Looks like Wix (or NAPA) has a lot of the filters......

I buy my Shell Rotella at the Walmart in Temecula

I buy the Schell fluids at a local Tractor Supply store. It seems that some Wal-Mart stores have it some don't. Both Tractor Supply stores near me stock it.

I'm thinking of using the Bill'sTractors Filter Package, $144.50.
Are all your filters Wix and how does the cost compare to the Filter Package ?

OK thanks, big question is, I notice the Shell has a 15-40 Synthetic Motor Oil, is the 15-40 ok to use ?
AND what about the HST Trans Oil the local O'Riely's can get two types... which are you using ?

Thans to you too ! I also ask you the same questions:

Thanks to all that posted to this thread, I am confused in the correct choices, I went to O'Riely's to get the Shell Oil and got blind sided by the Clerk when they asked me which type of oil I wanted.

davrow and tmcj, "Where do you get and what type of filters do you use" ?

Scrambler82, I get my Kioti (Daedong) filters from Greene's. They also sell Mahindra filters (Mahindra filters link). They use Baldwin as their non-OEM filter brand.

My Kioti CK27 HST filter package is $102.95 for all OEM except air filter (Baldwin), but of course that means little for your Mahindra needs.
