He shares actual part and fluid costs, his reasoning for using OEM filters under warranty, and a few honest stumbles along the way. Most useful for SA325 owners tackling their first major service interval.
Posted by the Brantley Blended channel, which appears to be an owner documenting life with their own Yanmar SA325.
He used Mobil Delvac synthetic 15W40 instead of Yanmar brand engine oil, though he stuck with Yanmar filters and hydraulic fluid.
The front-end loader blocks access, so he removed a bracket holding the fuel water separator to get enough room to pull the filter out.
The manual calls for Yanmar TF500A, a red-dyed fluid, and the tractor is supposed to hold about 4.1 gallons.
Filters cost about $221 total, five gallons of hydraulic fluid was about $126, with individual filters ranging from $9 to $58.
