Oil Change Frequency
For consumer use in yard tractor and riding mower appli-
cations oil changing is not emphasized as most hom-
eowners are not equipped or in the habit of changing
transmission oil. For most consumers, the transaxle
will outlast the life of the vehicle. It must be said that
changing oil will extend the life of the transmission.
However, in commercial and heavy usage applications oil
changing is recommended after the first 50 hours of
operation and every 200 hours thereafter.
The filter should never require changing unless the transaxle
is removed from the tractor or riding mower and
opened for repairs.
Oil Requirement
Approximately 3.3 liters of SAE 10W30, Class CC or CD en-
gine oil.
