He shows filter locations, tools needed (strap wrench, crescent), and leak checks. Most useful for first-time DK6010 owners nervous about tackling this themselves.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from his own property, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
It takes 6.8 quarts of 15W40 oil, which works out to about one full gallon jug plus 0.7 of a second gallon jug.
Just a crescent wrench, a 17mm socket on a regular ratchet, and a strap wrench set to remove the oil and hydraulic filters.
Yes, doing it yourself cost about $95 for oil and filters compared to a dealer quote of $600 for the same oil change and filter replacement.
No, at 50 hours you only replace the hydraulic oil filter, not the fluid; full hydraulic oil replacement happens at 100 hours.
