Engine Oil Viscosity CT225/230/235

[Spanky100]

What engine oil viscosity does the Bobcat Owner Manual Specify for the CT225/230/235 Tractors? Just checking to see if they call out the same oil as the Kioti CK27/30/35 manual. I was surprised that 15W-40 was not shown for "summer" oil in the Kioti CKs.

The Kioti manual calls for the following SAE Viscosity by temperature range:

above 77 F (25C) SAE Viscosity 30w / 10W-30 / 10W-40
32 F to 77 F (0C to 25C) SAE Viscosity 20w / 10W-30 / 10W-40
below 32 F (0C) SAE Viscosity 10w / 10W-30 / 10W-40




Thanks

I tried to paste the chart in from my CD's, but they wil not paste

Looks close but not exact

lilranch Thanks for trying to paste. Does it show any usage for the 15W-40 for warmer temps?

What is strange to me is that in my area - Midwest US, I have never seen a C_ rated "Diesel" oil available in 10W-40 SAE Viscosity. Only 10W-40 oils I see on the store/auto parts stores around here are S_ rated oils for "gasoline" engines. Could be a manual translation error from language or that a 10W-40 is available in other regions/countries.

I saw a Kubota oil post that showed the same SAE Viscosity listing as the Kioti Manual shows for the CK 27/30/35

above 77 F (25C) SAE Viscosity 30w / 10W-30 / 10W-40
32 F to 77 F (0C to 25C) SAE Viscosity 20w / 10W-30 / 10W-40
below 32 F (0C) SAE Viscosity 10w / 10W-30 / 10W-40

Thanks

15W-40 is 5F - 115F

Here is the Bobcat engine oil chart from the Operator manual.

Thanks for the oil chart. Seems like the Bobcat oil recommendation chart is more realistic then the written information in the Kioti CK Manual. One dealer I talked with said he felt the Kioti Manual was either a bad translation or a mistake.

Thanks again
