😡 Disappointing news.. Don't loan out equipment This could happen to you!

What happens here

The creator pulls the Kubota RTV X1140 onto a 4-post lift from Tuxedo Lifts (Northern Tool & Equipment) and raises it. He removes the plastic skid plate from the undercarriage using a Milwaukee cordless impact driver to access the oil filter and drain plug. He points out a dent in the oil pan, noting someone else's rough handling of his machine. After draining the oil, he inspects the underside, finding an accumulation of dirt, rocks, and mud. He removes grass and debris from various guards and points out the hydraulic filters and grease fittings, lamenting their awkward, hard-to-access placement. He then uses the Milwaukee impact driver to remove the filter and fills the engine with 4.3 quarts of Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 full synthetic diesel engine oil, poured via a funnel.

Goal: Change the engine oil and filter on the Kubota RTV.
