Does anyone know how to change the hydraulic oil on a new Holland ls 180,.I checked that the oil seems that needs one ASAP.
Thanks

Don you have an owner's manual? It should be detailed in there. Is the level low or the oil discolored?

So sorry for such late response, no I don't have a manual, I ordered one online and still haven't received it, I was talking with a service tech from New Holland and he said that this model doesn't have a drain plug, and that I need to use a drain hose, that connects to the auxiliary on the front and drain it this way by pressing the pedal until empties out, I'm just afraid of messing my pump that's all, he said it will be fine but I don't know for sure, they also said that this should take no more than 30minutes.

Are we talking about a skid steer? I am not finding a New Holland 180 tractor. I would suck the fluid out with a pump rather than do what he said and run the pump dry (if I understand what he said). I don't have a skid steer so I hope someone can help you.

Yes, its a skid steer new Holland 2002 LS 180 model, the hydraulic fluid its discolored, white cream looking, I'm going to try with the pump and see how much can I get out of the reservoir, I will keep you updated.
Thanks.

Oh wow, white cream looking is not good. Good luck
