Ok, I did my 50 hours oil change on my B3030. God... I've never saw a thing like that. I thought you guys were exaggerating a bit about how Kubota gives wrong information about fluids capacity. It took way more engine oil and way less super UDT.

I have a question. I used one of my rear hydraulic outlet (auxiliary valve) to remove the excess. Is it ok to do that? I know that when I push the valve's joystick on one side it allows the oil to push the piston and purge the oil on the other side of it. That oil returns to the tank without pressure. But what happens if no oil returns through the valve? IMHO, I think it does nothing but I just want to be sure about it.

Thanks guys

Sounds harmless and convienient to me. Did the fluid come out in a mad rush? Can't imagine an easier method. Good idea.

All the best,
Martin
