dual purpose oil + Hydraulic oil?

[allen6634]

You have a FT254, that takes: STOU 10W/30 GL-4 (equiv. SAE80W transmission oil)

• Engine sump 3.5 l (API CD)
• Gearbox 11 l (MF1135, M2C 86A, JD J20A)
• Front axle 4.5 l
• Lifter 9 l (UTTO for hydraulics)
• Steering ? l (UTTO for hydraulics)

I would recommend what the dealer already has put into the tractor, Agrol Turbo Kombi, a STOU oil. Similarly yo can use Statoil MultiWay or OKQ8 T1000, all 10W-30. You can also use Biltema Tractor Oil Universal, Kombiolja 10W-30 at 269 SEK for 10 liter.

In the FOTON manual, the requirement for oil is separated for the engine and for the transmission/hydraulics. These STOU oil recommendations above exceeds the requirements for the tractor. Both the low cost and the handling of a single oil bought in large quantities (10 or 20 liter) makes STOU a given for these 1980-decade of tractor technology.

That's what we practise with our Foton FT404, and it also came with Agrol Turbo Kombi oil in all reservoars. It worked well during the cold winter period as well.

i see that you have a foton 404 , i am curently working on one , i had to put a clutch in it, my question is, i have two hydraulic oils in this , one came out of the steering , and one came out of the small box where the front drive shaft is attached, where do i put this oil back ?

It's kind of hard to believe UTF can't be found at a reasonable price.
