Does anyone know if their CK-4 oil is synthetic?
Thank you very much. I read the bottle at the dealer (orange label) and could find nothing mentioning anything about it being synthetic. The parts man was on the phone gabbing with his girlfriend. I asked a salesman and he knew as much about the oil type in the bottle as he did about the L47 I was interested in buying.The Kubota branded 10W30 is conventional oil-just like the factory fill.
Good Luck as many opinions may follow!
I'm surprised they don't sell a synthetic for at least their turbocharged models to prevent coking the bearings. Not a problem on my L47, but I'll run synthetic after the first change.I'm surprised Kubota doesn't sell a synthetic but I've never seen one.
And their manuals are so outdated on oil specs.
They may figure buy it from them and you'll be fine.
I've always used 10W30 dino in my units with no issues.
Good Luck!
