Security & Theft L 2501 50hr Service

[garbageman]

I plan on do the 50hr service this weekend
Although the manual does not include it I知 going to change the transmission oil

A quick question, has anyone changed the front axle case oil at the 50hr mark

I would change front axle per owners manual. I did change my hydro fluid at 50 hours and put in SUDT2plus or whatever the synthetic is.

Those filters are a pain in the rear to get off the first time!!!

Those filters are often stuck on good. I wouldnt bother with the hydraulic oil unless you like blowing money. SUDT2 isnt cheap & lasts. It just doesnt get contaminated with soot & combustion byproducts like engine oil does. If you put a shop vac on the hydraulic fill port you dont spill anything when you remove the filters.

I changed my fluid at 50. I’m not sure it comes with SUDT2 but it may. I was amazed at the amount of metal shavings on the Hydraulic filter when I changed it. The filter has a magnet that collects them.

I completed the 50hrs service on Saturday
A very small amount of metal particles were found on the return filters magnet
Still glad I changed the hydraulic fluid

I did not change the front axle fluid

I did my own 50 hour service and as my Op manual indicated I changed out EVERY fluid and EVERY filter on the entire vehicle. NO exceptions, NO caveats, NO excuses.
