50 hour service, LX2610

[Jack@Northeast]

3 filters, oil change, greese and top off hydrolic fluid, verify torque specs for loader and wheels. Does this sound correct, am I missing anything?
Will 2 quarts of UTF2 be enough to top off?
Thanks in advance!

Also will synthetic oil be okay and do anyone have a brand preference?

You will lose hydro oil when you take the filters off. So be quick about it. You might need more hydro oil.

besides, I keep extra around in case I spring a leak or if I just need it in general

I’m assuming you’re asking about engine oil?
if you are going to the service department, you could just pick up kubota oil. You need to go there to pick up Super UDT2 hydro oil anyway.
You can also use rotella. I would use full synthetic. The engine doesn’t take much oil and full synthetic will offer longer protection.

My 50 hour service will be done at the shop, since it will be there with free transport for the service bulletin. I will end up paying an extra $100 for labor over the supplies. FWIW, the shop said that they will also change the fuel filter for just the cost of the filter (~$10). Although it is not required, the shop said that they feel it is $10 well spent. Might be worth your time.

On my b2650 (basicly the same as the lx2610) i used a full synthetic at 50 hrs because its my snow moving machine. The brand of oil i will not suggest one because every one has their brand that is better than all the rest and what you choose is up to you. I went with a 10w30 weight api cf rated oil that is listed in the owners manual.

As for hydraulic oil i lost about 1.75 qts of oil changing both filters i did have both of the filters ready to install as soon as i removed the old ones. There are ways you can try to prevent any loss like using a vacuum on the fill port or plugging the vent tube. I recommend getting at least one more qt of fluid than you think you need then you will have extra to top off fluids as needed.

Fuel filter is up to you i did not do mine until 100hrs and even then it was spotless with nothing on it.

Yes, Im not sure how fast I can swap the filter. I'm thinking 2 quarts is best case scenario. But my dealer isn't that far so worst case I make a second trip. Thanks for the input!

Excellent, great information. Thanks!

As the air fuel and fuel filters are washable/cleanable on my B2650 I bought replacements the first service (50 hours) that got installed, while the used filters got cleaned and ready for next service.
Should be the last air and fuel filters I'll ever need, barring mechanical damage or breakdown.
