At the risk of sounding like a total amateur here (which I really am not), I have what might be some dumb questions... My B6000 is the first diesel tractor (or anything diesel for that matter) that I have ever owned. As such, I'm a bit more cautious when I'm doing any routine maintanence.
Naturally, I want to do an oil change as I have no clue when it was last changed. The oil drain plug is obvious on the bottom of the oil pan. The fill cap appears obvious as well - I say "appears" because I'm not fluent in Japanese sybolism, so what the cap is actually telling me might be the recipe for a Poo-Poo Platter. Who knows? It's located up near the radiator on the drivers side and twists off. But there's no dipstick? How do we gauge the oil level in the motor?
And am I totally blind, or does this motor not run an oil filter?
I do have 15W-40 to put in it and I do know the oil in the air cleaner needs to be changed as well.
Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Matt
