Engine Oil:
A
Oil used in the engine should have an American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification and Proper SAE
Engine Oil according to the ambient temperatures as shown above:
A
With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4 and CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed for use of a low-
sulfur fuel on on-road vehicle engines. When an off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur fuel, it is advisable to
employ the "CF or better" lubricating oil with a high Total Base Number (TBN of 10 minimum).
C
Fuel:
A
Cetane number of 45 is minimum. Cetane number greater than 50 is preferred, especially for temperatures below
-20
or elevations above 1500 m.
A
If diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 0.5% (5000 ppm) sulfur content is used, reduce the service interval for
engine oil and filter by 50%.
A
NEVER use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 0.05% (500 ppm) for EXTERNAL EGR type engine.
A
DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 1.0% (10000 ppm).
A
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are recommended.
A
No.2-D is a distillate fuel of lower volatility for engines in industrial and heavy mobile service. (SAE J313 JUN87)
A
If the engine is to be operated within the European Union on diesel or non-road gas-oil, a fuel with sulphur content
lower than 10 mg/kg (20 mg/kg at point of final distribution), a cetane number greater than 45 and a fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME) content lower than 7% volume per volume (v/v) shall be used.
C
Transmission Oil:
The oil used to lubricate the transmission is also used as hydraulic fluid. To insure proper operation of the hydraulic
system and to complete lubrication of the transmission, it is important that a multi-grade transmission fluid is used in
this system. We recommend the use of
KUBOTA UDT or SUPER UDT fluid
for optimum protection and performance.
(Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for further detail.)
Do not mix different brands together.
A
Indicated capacities of water and oil are manufacturer's estimate.
A
Refer to the following table for the suitable API classification engine oil according to the engine type (with internal
EGR, external EGR or non-EGR) and the fuel (low-sulfur or high-sulfur fuel).
