In my BX1500 service manual on page G-16 under “Changing Transmission Fluid” it states,
“Important: Use only multi-grade transmission oil. Use of other oils may damage the transmission or hydraulic system.”
This is the only reference I have seen to the required specs for the UDT other than of course recommending Kubota Super UDT.
The other day at Sam’s I noticed they had a pail of 20W UDT for about $16 and a pail of 10W-20 for about $21. I was wondering if these are comparable to Kubota UDT and Super UDT. It appears the 10W-20 UDT would meet the “multi-grade transmission oil” requirement stated in the service manual. This is a lot more economical oil than the $70 Kubota Super UDT.
Is it any more necessary to only use the Kubota Super UDT in the transmission than it is to only use Kubota Motor Oil in the engine, or would the Sam’s 10W-20 be just as good? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
