there are two places to put oil so they can use the same engine in different applications/units/tractors. it does not matter which one you use, so long as it's at the correct level when you're done.

Where were you able to download the service manual at? All I can find on Cubs website is for the parts and owners manuals.

I did the 50 hour service today, I went to the auto store and picked up 2 filter end cap wrenches one for the oil and one for the hydro filter, the few I already had didn't fit them. I was surprised that the filters were not on too tight, I was a little hard to get to the hydro drain plug with the backhoe on.
I filled the engine oil through the top filler cap, the side cap there was not too much room to get the funnel in there the loader arm was in the way. I was glad I got the oil filter end cap wrench the filter was tucked in there. I had a long funnel that I used to fill the hydro oil, if you don't have a long funnel you will need a piece of tubing to reach the fill/check hole. The hydro filter there was a lot of room around the filter.
The guy at the auto store asked if he wanted me to cross reference the oil; and the hydro filters to get a better price, I had brought the filters in with me to get the right size cap wrenches they were still in the boxes that said Cub Cadet/Yanmar on them. He said that the price for the oil filter is $11.00 and he could not find a hydro filter. I went home and checked the price I paid for the oil filter and I paid $5.62 from the dealer.

My Branson engine has two oil fill caps too and the dealer told me it's because the same engine is used for marine purposes and the lower fill would be handier in that application.:thumbsup:
