MF RED in MT
Veteran Member
Hey everyone, I am preplanning for my 50 hour service for this summer and I think I have found the grease, and fluids that I will be using? I have been searching here on TBN and also most of the major oil companys , and there is a lot of different information out there . I have a major investment that I want to give the best care to and another consideration is I live in a cold winter area where summer mid temps are 78F. I have tried to adhere to the owners manual specifications except to exceed them. Today I called my nesrest MF dealer and ask about "Amsoil Synthetic fluids and any warranty problems" and I was told that Amsoil was not a problem with my warranty . I will list below the MF requirements and a long with that the product that I am planning to use.
1). Engine Oil: MF Mutiguard, MIL-L-46152, API Service CC; SAE 10w, 20w,
30w, 10w-30, and 15w-40 (these SAE's are for different temps).
Plan to use Amsoil Synthetic 10w-30/30w Heavy Duty Diesel
Oil (3 US qts. equals $24).
2). Transmission, Differential Housing, and Front Axle: MF Permatran lll.
Plan to use Amsoil Syn. Tractor Hydradulic/Transmission Oil;
SAE 5w-30 (ATH) (Trans/Diff. Housing and Front Axle equals 17 US qts.
$136).
3). MF2360 Snowblower Gearbox: AGMA 5EP, SAE 80w-90 gear oil.
Plan to use Amsoil Syn. Gear Lube SAE 80-90 (unknown amount,
1 US qt.equals $9.20).
4). Grease Fittings: MF M-1105 lithium base grease No. 2.
Using Valvoline Syn Power, NGLI #2 GC-LB Lithium Complex EP
Grease has moly-fortified ingredients to increase
film strength, lubricates at temperatures ranging from -40F to 400F
(14.1oz tube at Napa equals $5.99).
5). Engine Coolant: 50/50 mixture ethylene glycol and water (-30F).
Plan to use Zerex Original Green Antifreeze/Coolant (4.9 US qts
at a 55/45 mixture equals -34F).
6). I have not researched the Amsoil Filters so I so not know yet if I will use
them or Napa, orthe MF Filters.
(MF oil filter is $11.50 / MF trans filter is $26.62)
I would like your advise regarding the oil and
transmission filter products .
Please let me know what you think of my choices and any products that you use or would consider using? I hope this thread can help others with their services they do on their tractors. Thanks, KC
