Tw150 oil?

[Gerbutt]

Hiya

 

I have a tw150 35hp kubota, what engine oil does it take? I've had a looksy in the manual and I can't see it?

 

Also, I'd like a new battery for it. It takes a 063 which the one on it says 460amp I think. The varter 063 says 360amp, why the difference? A bigger amp varter wouldn't fit where the battery sits?

I can't say for detonate. But most Kubota engines are 15w/40. The one we sell has a spec of CI-4/SL

Hope this helps

6 litres of 10w 40 milners diesel engine oil I use.

Thanks for the response so far. What's the difference between 10w and 15w?

15w is more viscous when its cold 10w offers less drag when cold starting

Kubota use 10W-30 engine oil for UK application, this is used OEM from factory to comply with Kubota warranty.

 

Batteries type 063SP should all have the same dimension and post configuration.

10w-30 not a lot of places have it though as I found out when I tried to purchase a load! My company has just got some new ones to maintain and the 50hr service soon comes!

If your chipper is not always idle after startup for a couple of minutes before running full chat, consider adding something like Lucas oil stabilizer for a bit of protection.

 

All oils etc can be had from your local motor factors. I'd recommend getting an account with them, it saves so much time. Just make a phone call and it turns up a couple of hours later.

Not recommending it but:-

In the war when they struggled to start Merlin engines (spitfires) in winter because the oil was too thick ( viscous) they added petol to the oil to thin it.....

 

They reckoned petrol evaporated as oil warmed up

 

Mind you the spitfires weren't designed to last that long either!
