It covers sourcing filters and Rotella oil (CJ4/CK4 spec), draining and refilling engine oil, locating the hidden oil filler behind an engine cover, swapping engine and hydraulic filters, adding Super UDT hydraulic fluid, and checking for leaks. Useful for owners planning their own DIY service and wanting to see the actual fiddly steps, not just a checklist.
Posted by the Fred Montelatici channel, an owner performing routine maintenance on his own tractor and narrating the process as he learns it.
Kubota requires API service CJ4 for diesel engines, though the newer CK4 spec also meets the requirement. The video uses Shell Rotella full synthetic oil rated CJ4 and CK4.
It is hidden behind a gray engine side cover that must be unbolted to access, unlike older L models where the filler was in plain view.
It holds about eight quarts, though the video owner measured a little less, around seven point something quarts, leaving room for the new filter to fill.
There were small pieces of metal in the drained hydraulic fluid, which is why Kubota recommends changing these filters at the 50 hour service.
