He covers drain plug locations (two plugs), filter removal, greasing the new filter seal, and filling to 7.1 quarts using Kubota-brand oil. Practical tip on slow pouring to avoid overflow. Best for first-time L3901 owners wanting a straightforward procedural walkthrough.
Posted by the Smoky Mountain Outpost channel, which appears to be an owner sharing hands-on experience with their own tractor and property.
It has two plugs, one on each side of the engine, and both need to be removed to fully drain the oil.
The tractor takes 7.1 quarts of oil, which required buying two containers of Kubota-brand oil.
Yes, pre-grease the seal on the new filter and put a little oil on the threads before screwing it on to get a good seal.
The factory interval is about 400 hours, but the owner prefers changing it earlier, around every 200 hours, similar to changing a car's oil before the recommended mileage.
