udt vs super udt

[scootr]

SUDT doesn't cavitate and foam like UDT. Burn a couple of skid steers down and you'll figure it out.

So Kubota's 'enhanced ownership' is when the HST does not burn up/down whatever
Guess I want enhanced ownership then

Can I ask what happened to the orange tractor forum? Every link I find is a dead end?

No it means if it is supposed to use SUDT to perform properly and you use regular fluid and then gripe cause it ain't doin right. I don't care what you use.

What I posted was what I read in the manual. Use SUDT-2 for an enhanced ownership experience. Whatever enhanced ownership is and then this = Regular UDT is also permitted for use in this machine.

My wife's Honda was one of the last to print 5w-30 oil on the engine oil cap. The next year, they are stamped with, what would soon become popular, 5w-20.

There's no way that they changed the engine mid stream. It's just that the 5w-20 oil came of age, maybe, maybe provided a 1/100 more mpg? Who knows or cares. I'm with TripleR. Oil debates are absurd.

Unless you go wacko, and very far afield, oil is oil. It's wet. It does it's job. Just as folks use 5w-30 in their cars without any noticeable difference, this shouldn't be a debate about one versus the other. Is there a difference? Yes. But......Will the world stop spinning one way or the other? Nope.

I live too dang far north not to use both SUDT in my tractor and 5w-20 in my wife's engine for -10 start ups.

Yes, our Tacoma's oil cap clearly says 5w30 on it. It's now running with 0w20 like the other 2 gasoline engines.

IMHO, yes and no. You’ll notice a heavier oil makes starting harder on a cold morning. You’ll notice thin 0W oil disappearing on the dipstick between oil changes that you won’t get if with a 5w or 10w. Of course the manufacturers will say that’s normal. You’ll also notice how much a 0W splashes everywhere when you change the oil.

Well, I live in the south. Worked at Kubota. They do sell it down here.

Did anyone notice this thread is 10 years old?
Going with a thinner oil that protects well should not be a problem.
But in 10 years hopefully engines and oils have gotten better.

There were some really good posters back 10 years ago........Sure do miss them now.

just did the 400 hr change on the l2500 and when i ask for super udt I was told they do not carry it- said it was mostly used up north in the cold temps-what is the diff between the super and std udt--------curious

curious, you did not mention your location. wouldn't that be, given the consensus, the answer to your question?
so "up north" means you're southern?
