Covers both saddle-pan drain bolts, the copper crush washer gotcha, filter part number (HH164-32430), oil capacity (about 8.7 quarts of 15-40), where the fill and dipstick are located, and checking/topping off level after running the engine. Best for owners doing this service themselves for the first time.
An owner-operator (Elliot of Everything Elliott) walking through DIY maintenance on his own L4701, not a dealer or shop.
It has a saddle pan design with two drain bolts because the drive shaft runs up the center, so you must remove both to fully drain the oil.
The oil filter part number is HH164-32430, located on the passenger side of the motor.
About 8.7 quarts of Kubota 15-40 oil, though 10-30 can also be used depending on climate.
Just hand tight, spun on with two hands until it can't be turned anymore, no wrench needed.
