Wrenching on the Diesel Kubota RTV? Already?

What happens here

The presenter retrieves a metal transfer container that measures up to 4 quarts, making it easier to pour the precise amount of oil. According to the manual, the Kubota requires 4.1 quarts of engine oil. He pours the new Shell Rotella T5 15W-40 engine oil into the transfer container up to the 'Full' line (4 quarts) and then a 'scosche more' to account for the .1 quart. He places a small funnel into the engine oil fill neck and carefully pours the oil from the transfer container into the engine.

Goal: The engine is refilled with the specified amount of new engine oil using a specialized transfer container and funnel.

hand tighten them one thing I failed to mention you to make sure your dump bed is all the way dumped back before you drain the oil out because you have to use the hydraulics in order to raise the bed that means you got to start the engine so you can't start your engine without any oil in it cool the last step in the oil change is replacing this pan just put those five bolts back in very simple we get it done all right cool let's fill it up according to the owner's manual we're at 4.1 quarts now I'm not gonna take this gigantic 2.5 gallon container and try to pour an exact amount in there I've got a transfer container right here that says at full it's at 4 quarts I'll post a link to one of these down in the video description very very handy to have I'll actually post links to all this stuff in case you're servicing the same Kubota that way you'll have it all will just pour in 4.1 quarts so it takes 4 quarts when it's full we'll just go right up to the field line and then a skosh more that's a Canadian term so let's talk about this in my oil change band our funnels each funnel gets wiped out before I use it again in other words I use a degreaser like Toba towels to wipe out my funnel before I put a different type of oil through it so I can be especially obsessive about my oil I don't want any trash or any goop in my oil now I'm gonna wipe off the outside edge of the oil filler neck it had plenty of dust on it and actually have a rag right here wipe that guy off now the filter should catch all that dust and then I'll put our funnel right in place and then we'll pour our oil in okay I'll give you a piece of advice for free right here it's best to not fill up this transfer container all the way full is it makes it quite a bugger to pour your oil in and you run a risk of spillage but this is doing great so we'll put in our 4 quarts fire it up check the oil make sure we're good to go and then there is a cover that goes over top of this take my funnel out I have a
