Help! - put UDT in engine

[mrgries]

Was doing the 300 hour service and had my head up my ... er ... wasn't paying attention and dumped UDT into the crankcase. I caught myself before starting the tractor and am letting it drain out. What should I do? Will the engine get screwed up from the UDT?

Thanks in advance.

If you did not start engine. Everything should be OK.

i would drain it, fill it with oil run it an hour or so and change it again. i would also change it 5 hours after that. not much else you can do.

Since you didn't start it, there won't be in much of it in the engine to where it won't come out just draining. Just let it drain out and put the right oil in. It won't cause any problem what so ever. After it is drained don't think anything else about it.

Thanks guys.

Drain UDT, put oil in. Change after you run it, change oil, run it and change oil. Simple dilution. Think of how nice and clean you engine will be !

I think that may be a little excessive. It was not run so it's only in the crankcase. And it's not like it's acid or anything. It's a lubricant itself. I would drain it and if you are really worried about it fill the crank case with diesel to normal oil levels and drain that. Might be a little cheaper than the oil.

Doesn't AMSOil make some sort of a cleaner you put in the crankcase and run it for 30 mins or so and drain that? That would my preferred course of action. Course finding an AMSOil dealer isn't always the simplest of tasks.

Yes, excessive. What can I say ?

Is it ok to start making fun of you now, or do we need to give you a grace period?

Don't make fun of him, he actually was doing his own service.

Ah heck!!! Let's make fun of him now. There's no sense in missing an opportunity.

Have at it - won't be the first time. In my defense, I'll point out that Kubota Oil and UDT are sold in very similar looking containers.

I gotta say give him a walk...

Sure it was a silly thing to do, but took real GUTS to admit it here.

Salute!

Hmmm... first time is OK. Everyone has the right to make a mistake... as long as it's not with my tractor, my car or my truck . If you want a good advice: please if you do the same mistake again don't tell anyone.

My ex-wife put windshield fluid in the coolant recovery tank of one my former cars 3 times . One time is OK, I'm sure you learned from your mistake.

Well, since several people seemed to think letting the UDT drain was sufficient, verifying that there wasn't any UDT in the new oil filter, and because it was the easiest of the suggested options I filled up with the correct oil and after 10 hours or so worth of mowing (i.e., most of one tank of fuel - seems to be a bit more fuel efficient after getting fresh oil) the engine seems to be happy and none the worse for the experience.

I am, however, noticing an occasional vibration of some sort from the HST, typically after the tractor has been running for a while. Stopping forward motion, then starting out again seems to make it disappear for a while (no, I did NOT put engine oil in the HST! ) - hoping this is nothing serious.

Thanks again for all your advice.

If you have ag tires then it could be the tires getting into a harmonic vibration thing. It happens to mine on paved roads.

If you put in SUDT you would have been fine..
