Wrenching on the Diesel Kubota RTV? Already?

What happens here

The presenter shows the labels of the Shell Rotella T5 15W-40 engine oil and the Kubota Super UDT2 hydraulic fluid. He points out the API service category (CI-4 or CJ-4) on the engine oil label, confirming its suitability. He strongly advises against mixing different oil types or using unapproved hydraulic fluids to protect the expensive machinery and its advanced systems, which operate with tight tolerances.

Goal: The presenter explicitly checks the labels of the engine oil and hydraulic fluid to ensure they meet the manufacturer's specified certifications and types for the Kubota RTV X1140.

required on this machine this machine has two hydraulic filters and if you're doing this yourself you can pause it right there that's your part number that you'll need and this is the other hydraulic filter pause it there's your hydraulic filter number and this is the oil filter and we got the genuine Kubota type oil filter if we weren't using genuine Kubota we'd be using wicks filters I'm a big fan of Napa and a big fan of wicks filters we also have the super UDT which is recommended by Kubota for hydraulic fluid and we have Shell Rotella t5 which is a synthetic blend typically I'll put a synthetic or synthetic blend in every piece of equipment that I have and on the back of this you have a little label that tells you the certifications of the oil and whether it's appropriate for your machine and we looked up all those numbers and the cj4 is or CI four is what we're looking for and that's what this is good to go just a little point I'd like to make with the new hydraulic systems and the newer engine systems in the tight tolerances on newer vehicles like this you need to use the recommended oils don't mix oils don't put some old whatever hydraulic fluid in this machine because you got to protect your investment this is an expensive machine close to 20,000 bucks so we're protecting our investment and we're putting everything right as best we possibly can now I'm no mechanic so if you have any suggestions or any questions or any helpful advice please post it down in the comment section alright guys once again I want to give a
