BX23 Maintenance Questions

Curtis, I changed from Dino to Amsoil Diesel at the 100 hour change. The engine is much quieter in the cold weather. Even though the oil will last more than the normal change out period I change at the Kubota specified intervals.

Which Amsoil did you go too? I know there 5w40 is better but there 15w-40 hdd&m is high in zddp and Ca is through the roof! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think I am just going to change mine over to Mobil 1 Delvac at the 50hr service period. I use Delvac in my Duramax so it is always around so no problems there. I debated changing over immediately with the Duramax as well, this is an area with alot of debates and I am just going to let the dino do it's thing for the first 50hrs and then it will be gone!

Thanks.
Curtis

I switched to the series 3000 5w-30. The cost is $75 per 12 qt case plus shipping if you order directly from Amsoil using the preferred customer program. That program costs $20 per year but if you use a lot of "oil" and oil products it is worth it....at least to me.

The shipping transit from the warehouse in PA to Southern Maine is usually three days and UPS drops it off in my barn. Saves me time and $$.

going from the good stuff ha! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Going to run 1-year on there Series 3000 and then test. See if the increase in price is worth it. Plus I want to see how well it holds up compared to there 15w-40.
