KX91-2 hydraulic oil change

[twiggly49]

I need to change the hydraulic fluid in my KX91-2 excavator.What is the most efficient way to get as much as possible out of the system? Thanks

Look in the Factory Workshop Manual and find the location of all the drain plugs. Remove them all and leave them out for 24 hours till the last drop of used oil has dropped into the collection pan.

When I change oil in my cars/trucks/tractors - I try to point them downhill towards the drain plug - if nothing else it does help getting the last little bit out. YOU will never get it all out , but at least you'll get 95% of it out.

Also have all cylinders retracted(if safe to do so) as this will put more fluid in the tank. And have the fluid warm by running it before draining as this will get the contaminates suspended in the fluid. If possible let drain overnight.
