Post your latest tractor oil change.

Allis Chalmers 5045
Out: Schaeffer 5w40 and Wix 51452
In: Schaeffer 15w40 and Baldwin B118
Also changed power steering fluid with Schaeffer 15w40. No clue what was in it before but still had a clean golden brown color. Probably old school T3 Rotella.

Hydraulics got a fresh fill of Hygard.
 
2022 Kubota ZD1211 with the D1105.

50 hr service. Factory fill came out. Refilled with Delvac 15w40 synthetic and installed a Kubota HH150-32094. I think it’s basically a Fram xx9688?

I have a change coming up on my B2620 with the D1105. I have Valvoline PB 5w40 synthetic and a Fram XG3593A ready to go on. I crossed that to the Kubota filter. I did order a Kubota filter after to have on hand, and it didn't have a silicone ADBV.

No they do not, but with the ones I’ve taken apart, they still seemed like new. I’m also trying to avoid any warranty drama. Lol.

They are definitely well built, the case feels much stronger than the Fram. Mine is a 2014, so out of warranty, but only 180 hours. :)

I looked closely at the Fram I got and luckily I can still see the wire backing.
 
1940 Ford 9N. Bypass filter element (Fram C3) was changed five years ago. Oil was last changed two years ago. I used Valvoline Blue diesel oil 15w-40. Tractor is used twice a year to mow a field, taking two hours each to complete. It burns about a quart with each mow. I plan on changing it next year.

I think they’re Denso made, but it’s just speculation.
 
2014 Kubota B2620 - Kubota D1105 engine 185 hours
Out: 10w30 Kubota oil, Kubota filter
In: Valvoline PB synthetic 5w40, Fram XG3593A


First service on this machine, I purchased it from my uncle a few months ago. It was always dealer serviced and you can tell, because all the filters have install marks from filter wrenches and are ridiculously difficult to remove. 🤦‍♂️ I should've snapped a pic of the oil filter, I basically destroyed it while removing it.

Kubota dealers techs are the worst. 🤷‍♂️

I’m a big Kubota fan btw.
 
Messicks have really nice You Tube videos. It would be nice if a Messicks was here.
They seem like decent guys and anytime I've ordered something from them it has been a pleasant experience. I've received parts shipped from them faster than the local dealers could even order them to have me pick up in-store. It's really baffling to me how some dealers don't even stock maintenance parts (air filters, oil filters, hydraulic filters) for machines they still have on the lot.
 
Kubota G5200. No idea on hrs as the meter is broken. I’m guessing around 75. Used Rotella T6 and a Fram PH7317.

It’ll get bi yearly changes now that I have the zero turn.
 
1986 sunstar w kohler magnum 18 twin. I use straight 30 castrol HD. I took a sample to go to blackstone. Uses about 1.5 quarts.. i use kohler filters.
Old oil was in 1 year but only about 20 hours.
I am using the tractor all winter w 42 inch snowblower so I want clean oil. The old oil had a bit of foam or something going but it looked pretty good...

Since there was some moisture in the oil I may run the tractor a few hours and just change the oil again. Its only 1.5 quart.
