Well after being a member on here for about 12 years I couldn't get it to recognize me anymore and couldn't figure out the issue so I had to start a new
account. Anyway I bought an older Kubota this week and it has a sticker for the oil recomendation. I want to protect it as good as possible and read an
article that Kubota engineers advised not to use synthetics in it because of some ring sealing issue and only to use recommended oils. Here's my delimma
I can't find oils rated like the sticker says and wanted to ask the experts before I just dump something in. I will attach a picture of the oil label and I live where
humidity is high in summer with mild winters. It did get -12 last Feb. but that was a first for me in 53 years normally it hits 18 at the lowest and mostly 32-102
most summers it hits 98 in mid summer occasionally 100+ for a week or two not lately. Would like to use something that would be good year
round so I didn't have to change oil every time the weather changes since I wouldn't be using it very often and the oil would have low hours. I would
like to change it once a year but might have to do 2 changes if necessary.
thanks
Dave
