He shows how to remove the grille guard and side panel, drain the plug (with a honest spill confession about the backhoe subframe plate), swap the filter, and refill with 10W-30 full synthetic. Practical tips on timing and mess prevention make it useful for first-time RK55 owners.
Posted by the Outdoors With The Morgans channel, presenting as an owner sharing hands-on experience from their own tractor.
Yes, the owner did the whole oil change with the loader and backhoe on, though removing the loader would make the side panel and filter access a bit easier.
About 1.4 gallons of 10W-30 full synthetic oil.
The drain plug sits near the backhoe subframe plate, and removing that plate first would prevent spilling oil like he did.
He spent about 45 minutes including camera stops, but estimates 20 to 30 minutes without filming interruptions.
