Types of oils

[Ksaunders 4]

Hello everyone i need some help i just purchased a wheel horse 520 tractor used. I know nothing about them it has 650 hours on it. Could someone tell me what type of oils  and filters i should use for the engine and the hydrostatic transmission?

  I see you are new here. 

 

Here is the owners manual for a 1993, all years are about the same.  1993 520H 

 

I use SAE 30 year round in the engine, and 10W-30 in the transmission.  Use any good brand, but if you can find oil with a rating lower than SN it might give better protection, for example Kohler has oil that might be a bit better.    I use 122-0800 Onan or LF3338 Fleetguard engine oil filters.  For the transmission, I use the NAPA 1410 hydraulic filter.

 

Be sure that the rubber grommet is in place around the engine oil filter.

Ynnmore thanks so much i had been looking at toro 500 hydro. I guess it would be ok to use mobile 1 10w 30 in rear under the seat

Is 10w 30 synthetic oil from mobile 1 a good choice in transmission
