LS Tractor Oil, Gas, & Air Filter Information

[IRISHBOOMER]

Thanks, Irishboomer. What filters are you planning on using?

Wix it’s what I always use on everything except my rig which I use CAT high efficiency filters

Finished the 250-hour service on my XG3037 today and decided to make a few notes:
*All of the WIX filters (oil, inner air, outer air, main fuel, and hydraulic) fit perfectly. The hydraulic filter was slightly shorter than the original but otherwise fit.
*The original inner air filter was very clean even after 250 hours of service....not a speck of dirt or dust. Probably did not need to change it, but did anyway. The outer filter obviously did it's job.
*The oil drain plug required a 17mm socket.
*Had to use a strap wrench on the hydraulic filter..tough spot and large diameter. Will definitely try the vacuum trick the next time....lost about a qt of fluid while changing the filter.
*Did the work in this order; air filters, pre-fuel filter, drained oil, oil filter, filled with oil, main fuel filter, hydraulic filter, all the rest.
*The oil fill location is in a fairly tight area and required the use of a flexible long fill spout on the oil container.
All in all, I was very pleased with it's serviceability and other than the strap wrench and the long flexible fill spout it didn't require any additional tools other than what I normally use to service my truck.

I am newbie about to do my 50 hour service on XG3037H. The posts you have here are VERY helpful. Let us know any further updates. Thanks!

Thanks, Jazz56. This is a great forum and everyone is so helpful. It's a big benefit to everyone when we each share our experience and knowledge.

One thing I discovered about the XG3037 is that the radiator fan creates such a powerful suction through the radiator screen/radiator that you really need to check and clean the screen more frequently than maybe you are used to doing. There is a safety that kicks in and puts the tractor in basically a "limp mode" if the coolant temp runs high. It will reset once the temp drops, but this requires turning it off, cleaning the screen, and then restarting.

I discovered this when I was mowing tall grass and suddenly went into the limp mode. Took a picture of the dash in case my dealer/serviceman needed it to diagnose the problem and the noticed that the coolant temp gauge indicated high temp. Turned off the tractor, raised the hood, and discovered the radiator screen was nearly covered with debris. Cleaned it off and restarted the tractor and the temp immediately dropped to normal. Asked my dealer about this and, sure enough, there is a safety relay that puts the tractor into limp mode when it senses high coolant temp. Great idea and now I know to keep a closer eye on this. Hope this helps you.

i learned this exact same lesson as well doing some brush hogging in tall stuff near the house. Tractor went into limp mode, so I shut it down and cleaned off everything and it was fine. Couldn't believe how much stuff and how fast it clogged the screen. Thanks!!

Another question and I'm sure it's been answered buried somewhere in this lengthy post but maybe you could answer your experience. Using these cross referenced filters doesn't void the tractor warranty correct? I'm figuring you would know.

The short answer is no.

 

[alexsbuddy]

No, but save receipts to show when you purchased the filters and keep track of hours and dates when you changed them. Always good to have supporting documentation.

Good point will do. It gets pretty cold here in winter and tractor will be used every couple of days. Stored in unheated pole barn so I'm thinking Shell Rotella Diesel 5W-40 been recommended as really good product. Thoughts?

You might want to also consider Shell Rotella T6 5W-30...have heard good things about it for cold climates. Also, be sure to add a winter fuel additive to your fuel, such as Power Service Diesel Kleen (white bottle). Diesel contains additives that will turn to jelly and plug your fuel system in bitter cold.

Hi Wayne,

Yes, that痴 fine, they are fully compatible and this will help with winter startup flow.? You can make up one to the other as needed.? These are also compliant with the dpf.

Thanks for using Rotella.

Just coming up on 50 hours on my XR4145. Went to the dealer for the filters, and he told me that they are having trouble getting the engine oil filters for the new, Tier 4 LS engine. He only had one oil filter and it was $28. That's an awful lot for a filter in my opinion. He hasn't been able to source any other filter as a replacement. The LS part number is 40006986. Looking around a little, I can't seem to find any info on that filter at all. Does anyone else have any info on these filters?

Wix /Napa has a cross for your tractor...I use wix, Don t have a local Napa, they can cross all your filters except the prefuel filter , you can get that one from a NewHolland dealer , same part number as your LS tractor

 

[Kc8ehd]

Are non LS filters ok to use and not void the warranty? And anyone have any info on the newer LS engines in the xr4100 series?

As long as they have a cross they are ok to use wix /Napa is what I use , the only filter I can't get from wix is the prefuel filter i get mine from a New Holland dealer same part number as LS

 

[Kc8ehd]

I'm going to get a filter tomorrow for my XR3037HC. It uses the same 40283380 filter. Cross references are Wix 57000, NAPA 7000, Fram 3614. Which filter I get will depend on what the parts store has in stock.

Wix and Napa are made by the same factory

 

[Kc8ehd]

Rowdy,

Any problems? I'm hearing that the (oil) filter for your machine and my machine may be the same. I have an XR3135H and having a hard time finding an aftermarket oil filter. Sounds like you scored but did it work?

Wix/ Napa has a direct cross for your tractor

 

[Kc8ehd]

Can someone help me with a XG3140H
Fuel filter: ?
Air filter: ?
Hydraulic ?
Oil Filter: ?
Hydraulic Fluid: ?
Engine Oil: ?

Wix.com will have a cross for most of your oil filters (Napa brand is wix they will be able to cross also) fuel filter New Holland dealer will have it same part number as LS

 

[Drewmon]

Ok..... So for us that have the newer XR4100 series engines, I've done a ton for searching and cross referencing online. The LS part number for the newer 3cyl turbo engines is 40006986. That cross references to a Case # of MT40006986 which we can get at Messick's for $17 which is for the Boomer 40 (2017 version with the same engine as our XR4100 series)

That same number cross references to a bunch of other part numbers mostly for Kia's and Hyundai's with a MANN Filter part Number W830/3 Olejovy filtr MANN-FILTER W 83�/3 Autodily PEMA

That number in turn cross references to a NAPA Gold part number of 107426 Oil Filter (Gold) FIL 1�7426 | Buy Online - NAPA Auto Parts

which in turn goes to a Wix part number of WL7426

which I was able to find at Rockauto for $6.40 WIX WL7426 Oil Filter | RockAuto




Your Welcome.

does anyone have the gas pre-filter part number to use at New Holland for the XR4145H? (also, where is it? ) all I see is what I assume is the main filter that has the 2 fuel lines going to it with sensor on the bottom.

For my XG3037 it was located on the lower left side near the rear of the engine (closest to the cab). NH part #MT40279917.

To cross LS to Case or New Holland change the prefix from LS to MT. Not sure about Kubota

 

[arits74]

I have the 4155 and I don't have a pre fuel filter,only the main filter
