Kubota RTV 900 / 1100 Oil Change

For this video, I used a Kubota RTV 900 diesel. However the information here applies to ALL other diesel Kubota RTV variants that I have seen. However, if the oil fill cap cannot be accessed, see my video for 'RTV X1120D oil change'.

I've changed the oil in my airplanes but never in my Kubota RTV 900 before and your video is a "hit" with me. Thanks. And yes, Fram (used to be a good oil filter long ago) but airplane mechanics (especially my water) always took apart oil filters to inspect them for metal contaminates. I disassembled a Fram not too long ago from my truck and geeze, not much filtration/elements inside a Fram these days.

Thanks for video! If you pull the dip stick slightly oil flows smoother/quicker.

How much oil do you put in?

I'm not sure which engine you have. But even without looking it up, I add an amount of oil that looks like less than what came out. Then pull out the dipstick, clean it off withe a rag or paper towel, insert back in all the way, remove it again but keep the tip horizontal, so oil on the stick does not run one way or another. Look carefully to see if it shows any signs of oil on the marks. Add more oil if it is not close to the Full mark. Repeat all of this until it is. Since your filter will be new, the filter will hold/take some of the new oil once the engine is restarted. Therefore, once I see the first signs of oil on the dipstick, I start the engine and make sure the oil pressure gauge shows pressure. But on the Kubota it is just a light, so wait until the light goes out, which should be around 15 seconds after starting. Turn off the engine. At that point the filter will be full of oil. I then finish filling to the level I just described.
