KIOTI CK2610 fluid advice

[Too many Kubotas]

All of the approved Kioti fluids listed are also listed as JD20C compatible; not a 100% proof, but if your fluid you picked up meets JD20C, you're fine. Unless you believe that Daedong uses something so proprietary in the hydraulic system that only the 4 specific fluids are the only thing that will work.

No, I think there are several good options, but not that Lucas is necessarily one of them.

Apples and oranges to some extent, but when Lucas consistently places towards the bottom in fuel additive tests, I suspect that its other fluids may not be among the best, either.

After all, there's much more to good products than lots of advertising.

Very informative post. Thanks to everyone for the input, and thanks to the OP for helping two newbie tractor owners.

My 2510 came with hydraulic in the front axle as well, and there is nothing in the owner's manual about it. I was told it was for the break in period. The dealer mentioned it ahead of time.

Well, saying it's suitable isn't quite the same as actually meeting spec in many cases. Amsoil is probably the most common example of that debate.

They have to meet or exceed the specification to claim it is suitable.
Does anyone really think their legal team has not thought that through?

I'm sure their counsel has thought about it.

But I'm not so sure that smaller oil companies in general necessarily meets, let alone exceeds, any standards before claiming their product is suitable for a given application.

You guys crack me up. Brand snobs that try so hard to justify why your choice is superior.

Alright, finally performed the service this weekend and now she won't start up... Please help a very not mechanically inclined guy out.. Is the oil the wrong kind and if so, did I just nuke my engine or can I simply drain and refill with correct oil?

I changed the engine oil + filter, air filter, and fuel filter (and primed). I still need to do the axle oil and hydraulic oil + filters.

- Video during start up

I tossed the battery on a trickle charge but hoping it's just a battery issue by dumb luck. I don't see any leaks near the oil filter, oil drain plugs, or the fuel filter.

From watching your video it appears to be a priming issue (air in the system) from changing your the fuel filter.
Prime it again until you get the air out.

I believe that you are air bound, you need to do a full air bleed on the system. To the pump and then to the injectors.

Never worked on a diesel mostly just my lawn mower and small stuff. How many times do I need to push the primer? Can I overdo it?

There are a couple of videos on Youtube to walk you thru it.
