Oil Change in K46BT

pdesnoyers76 · Sep 15, 2013

I have a Husqvarna YTH22V42LS and would like to change the oil. The tractor move slower now then when it was new. Probably it need a cleaning too. It has 115hrs. I will be replacing the oil with 5w50 full synthetic but I was thinking of adding 200 ml of Lucas Oil stabilizer also. I used that in the past for different application with success. Ex. I had a snowmobile Yamaha RX1 that were known for chain case failure because of heat. You also had to replace the chain every 8000 km. I always added 100ml of Lucas with every oil change. After 13000km, the chain was still within spec even with a pull test. Also the chain case was running much cooler. What you guys think?

Lucas makes good products. 30W or 5w30 oil is recommended in the manual. 5w50 seems awful thick and I would not use it. What do you have in there now?
