Hi Guys, I cant make up my mind on my B6000, I bought it a month ago and would like to change the transmissoin oil, should I use 80w90 or UDT. I have a front end loader on it. I cant find the answers in the search.
Thanks.

Jay.

I may be out of line but I think the biggest thing is if it's HST or gear. HST tractors need UDT and the gear tractors really don't matter which you use.

Does the loader hydraulics use the trans oil? Or is it a seperate reservoir? As per Service Dept Vics video on here, if its a seperate reservoir use 80w90 gear oil in the trans. If its a common reservoir then use UDT in the trans.
Bulldog, all B6000s are gear, HST was not offered on that model. Just fyi.

the loader uses the trans oil, no reservoir.

UDT is what you want.

Thanks for the info, it's hard to keep up with all the options that were offered.
