YANMAR Academy SA tractor oil change

Today we are going to discuss how to properly change the engine oil in your Yanmar SA series tractor. This task is to be performed initially at 50 hours, 200 hours, and every 200 hours afterwards, along with other maintenance items that need to be performed at the same intervals mentioned on your maintenance checklist in the operator’s manual. Thanks for watching.

Your video is saying to put 4 quarts of oil in the SA series tractor, I ended up draining half a quart because of this incorrect information. Luckily I didn't damage my engine by overfilling it. The SA325 takes 3.6 quarts of oil as per the manual...

True, it's 3.6 qt for SA324/424 and 3.1 qt for SA221

Could you add a video on attaching/detaching the front mounted snowblower? I have one and the mid mount mower and a video on each would be great! Thanks again.

I did this for the first time on my new-to-me 424. Drained oil, changed filter, added 1 gallon of oil, and after running for a few minutes I'm showing very much over full on my dipstick. Do these really have a 1 gallon capacity?

[@richards9229]

I had the same issue. Correct amount of oil is 3.6 quarts, not the 4 quarts mentioned in the video...

Never I repeat NEVER tighten an oil filter with a set of filter plyers!!! The only tools you should ever use to tighten a filter are a strap wrench, an oil filter socket/cup that is the proper size for your filter or by hand.

After I changed my oil. My oil pressure light comes on after about 15 minutes of use and kinda flickers on and off

Make sure to correct the situation ASAP! Busting an engine because of an incorrect oil/filter change. Is neither fun or economically viable!
Make sure to use the proper oil grade recommended for your engine, same for the oil filter. Obviously make sure the proper oil QUANTITY is in the engine!
Last but not least make sure the oil pressure sender switch is working correctly, and all seems to indicate it's OK!
IF ANY of these steps present a challenge. Please seek professional help before your wallet takes a really big beating! ;-)

I wanted one of these tractors until I saw the hydraulic oil filter just hanging out underneath waiting to get punctured by a stick or something. Maybe engineer a nice guard for it? Otherwise I love these tractors.

There is a skid plate option. Severe downfall though it cannot be used with the mower deck though.
