Kioti rearend fluid

[jimchaffins]

What type fluid, and quantity of, do you use in a Kioti rearend?

It may differ by model tractor; but for instance my NX5010 HST takes 45 Liters of hydraulic fluid. Kioti calls out several brands but mobile 424 is a common fluid.

Jim, keep in mind that "rear end fluid" can also be front axle fluid, and of course is "everything else fluid" too. Hydrostatic transmission if you have one, fluid for the 3pt, the loader if you have one, and the power steering too. Mobilfluid 424 is good, I used if for a number of years, but I have switched to the Kubota SUDT II. It is slightly better in cold weather and is a premium (premium price too) fluid.

For my machine the hydraulic oil lubricates rearend and brakes. Only oils I have are engine oil (10w40 diesel rated)front end (diff and axles) 80/90 and hydraulic (general purpose whatever is least expensive).
