Read articles →An owner doing his CT5555's first engine oil change at 200 hours, skipping the dealer-recommended 50-hour interval, and sending a sample to a lab to see what that cost him. The video walks through the dual-sump drain setup, filter number, torque spec, and a fill-port access problem, then closes with actual oil analysis results showing elevated copper, lead, and tin. Most useful to CT5555 owners figuring out their own service intervals.
Posted by the Gaining Ground channel; the presenter appears to be a private owner sharing hands-on experience from their own tractor.
Yes. The oil analysis at 200 hours showed insanely high copper, extremely high lead, and quite high tin, so the owner says you absolutely should do the initial engine oil change at 50 hours even though the manual doesn't state it.
The filter number is 2973842998.
The manual says it holds 6.3 quarts, but the owner put in almost eight quarts to fill it, suggesting the manual figure may not include the filter or may be off.
The bolts get torqued to 25 foot-pounds.
