Coming up on my first 50 hours and am getting ready to change the oil. Looking through my owners manual and I cannot find how many quarts of oil the tractor holds or a part number for the oil filter. Anyone know if I have to go through Mahindra for the filter or can I just run up to the local Tractor Supply Comp. and pick one up. Thanks for the help.

The engine should hold a little over 6 qts of oil with the filter change, and the filter part# should be 005553596R92. I don't believe you will be able to cross that number to any other brand filter. Good luck with it.

It holds 1.6 gallons (6.4 quarts)....
Look on pages 76 and 77 for the service schedule and page 79 in your manual for the full list of fluid capacities.(although their is a misprint with the engine oil quarts listed) Fuel, hyd., cooling system, engine oil, transmission, power steering.

Shemp,
I just did my first oil & filter change on my 3525 this past Sunday...
You can use the Mahindra filter from the dealer, or, Wix lists for the Mahindra 3525 #51068, which is a "short" version of Wix #51515, which is the equivalent of Fram PH8A, Motorcraft FL1A, etc. According to the Wix website, these filters are the same specs as what they recommend (#51068)... just they are about 1 1/2 inches longer in length... flow rate, microns, bypass, etc are all the same otherwise.
I put on a Fram TG8A (Fram's Premium version of the PH8A).
I filled the filter, installed it, and then put 6 quarts of Rotella 15W40 in the crankcase. After running it for a few minutes to get the filter completely filled, I shut it down, waited 10 minutes and checked the oil... it was just a hair above the "full" hole in the dipstick.
Just curious, did your dealer explicitly tell you "ABSOLUTELY NO SYNTHETIC OIL" in the engine?

Yeah, my dealer said "Absolutely No Synthetics". Explicitly, in no uncertain terms. I really don't know why.
It's not a big deal to me, I have absolutely no problem with dino oil, I just find it curious that he told me that, and was wondering if other dealers are issuing the same warning/mandate.
Maybe it's a seal issue? I really don't know... maybe someone from Mahindra will chime in *wink* *wink*

Hey Guys,
According to my resources, as long as the synthetic oil meets the API specifications it will be ok to use.

First of all, I don't like to get my hands dirty, too often.
I try and leave those technical questions to Galen, Ernie, Jeremy, Dave and our other dealers that are so good and quick with a response. Besides, I don't have much time to see if ya'll need my "technical advice."
But, glad to help when I can. "A Smile Is A Light In The Window Of The Soul, Indicating That The Heart Is At Home."
