Please forgive my ignorance but can someone tell me where to add Hydraulic Oil to a L48. A local dealer says the dipstick hole and I'm having reservations about that advice. I've included a picture from the manual that shows the oil "INLET" as the dipstick and the "OIL CAP" as a Gauge?.........

Thanks in advance============Steve A. L48-Oil-Fill.jpg

HYD oil goes in the capped hole then check level with dipstick.......

You need tractor fluid not plain hydraulic fluid. Tractor fluid has additives that work with wet brakes and clutches. On a modern machine you want "premium" tractor fluid not 303.

Being a Kubota it may have more specific requirements, like for their synthetic stuff.
