Is there a tribologist in the house?

....or is there anybody out there who actually trusts that the oil in a bottle is up to the standard defined by the service rating printed on the label? I'm not an engineer and don't know a lot about oil, but I don't know how many angels can stand on the head of a pin either. What I do know is that spending extra money on oil that goes miles beyond what is needed is wasteful; the phrase diminishing returns comes to mind. I don't mean to advocat going cheap....just not overboard either.

I'm not a troll, honest! I'm just opinionated. The difference is the intent.

The diesel rated Shell Rotella is used in many many many commercial applications and is what I have been using happily. Someday I may choose to switch to a synthetic but for the past 200hrs it has been Rotella with zero issues.

I use Rotella in my truck too ,so it's easier and less confusing to keep one thing around.

I run Shell Rotella straight 30 weight and the supertech walmart brand hydraulic combination transmission oil. I use the compression release to get oil circulating before starting when cold. -Keith

Hi Guys

a CK27 HST, how many liters / quarts of oil is required for an oil change. and how much hydrolic oil, is required for first 50 Hour maintenance. wont have tractor and manuals till next week, just curious.

Well I settled on some oils, based on availabilty and recommendations

Napa Premium Heavy Duty Tractor Hydraulic & Transmission Fluid
Shell Rotella T Heavy Duty Motor Oil SAE 15W-40
Napa also has the 90 SAE for front axle.

Now, I feel like an idiot asking this question but I am stumped. Where is the dip stick to check the engine motor oil? See picture from CK30 manual below. I have searched high and low, and I am yet to find it. Is there a secret location?

As you face the tractor left side. If you have FEL it is being hidden by the mount on that side down low right near the hydraulic pump. It has a orange handle sticking out. If you take the left side engine cover off you will wonder how you ever missed it.

Its the opposite side that the manual shows you.

Just took these pics of my 2008 CK35 for you. If standing in front of the tractor looking towards the back then the oil dipstick is on the left side. Sitting in the seat it would then be on the right. It has an orange handle on the end. You almost have to be on your knees and look up. Hope this helps.
