C 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).
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).
Fuel used
High Sulfur Fuel
[ 0.05% (500 ppm)]
Low Sulfur Fuel
[<0.05% (500 ppm)] or
Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel
[<0.0015% (15 ppm)]
EGR: Exhaust Gas Re-circulation
A The CJ-4 engine oil is intended for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) type engines, and cannot be used on this vehicle.
Models
C Fuel:
A Cetane number of 45 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)
C Transmission Oil:
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 genuine fluid for optimum protection and performance.
(See the first table of "LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND COOLANT" in "MAINTENANCE" section. Consult your local KUBOTA
Dealer for further detail.)
Do not mix different brands together.
C Hydraulic tank oil:
To insure proper operation of the hydraulic and VHT system, it is important that a multi-grade transmission fluid is used
in this system. We recommend the use of KUBOTA genuine fluid for optimum protection and performance.
(See the first table of "LUBRICANTS, FUEL AND COOLANT" in "MAINTENANCE" section. Consult your local KUBOTA
Dealer for further detail.)
Do not mix different brands together.
