RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL & FUEL
KUBOTA D905 DIESEL ENGINE
Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104B/MIL-L-2104C or have properties of API designation of CC/SF or CD/SF.
Change the type of engine oil according to the ambient operating temperature:
Above 86°F SAE 30
32°F to 77°F SAE20
Below 32°F SAE10
SAE 10W-30
Use #2 diesel fuel.
LISTER-PETTER LPW3/LPA3/LPW4/LPWT4 DIESEL ENGINES
Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104C or have properties of API designation of CC/SF or CD/SF. Use CC grade
oil for the initial break-in period. Multi-viscosity oils (such as 10W-40) should not be used at temperatures
above 32°F. Be sure to use the correct oil viscosity for the weather you are experiencing. When this engine
left the factory, it was filled with engine oil as specified on this page.
Change the type of engine oil according to the ambient operating temperature:
86°F and warmer SAE30
Between 39°F & 86°F SAE20/20W-SAE 15W/40
Between 5°F & 39°F SAE 10W
Below 5°F SAE 5W
Use #2 diesel fuel above 5°F, #1 diesel fuel below 5°F.
NOTES:
1. The temperatures in the table are the ambient temperature at the time when the engine is started.
However, if the running ambient temperatures are much higher than the starting temperatures, a com-
promise must be struck and a higher viscosity oil and fuel used, provided they have a suitable specifica-
tion.
2. MIL-L-2104B or MIL-L-2104C or API CD oils are recommended, particularly in high temperature
applications. They must also be used if the sulfur content of the fuel exceeds 0.5%.
3. CAUTION: The use of Series III oils in new, or overhauled naturally aspirated engines can inhibit break-
in and give rise to cylinder bore glazing in engines on low duty cycles. Therefore, they should not be used
for the first fill in new or newly overhauled naturally aspirated engines, but may be used advantageously
after the first 250 hours, when the engine is operating in hot ambient temperatures and high load factor.
4. Always use a reputable brand of diesel fuel. The sulfur content should be below 0.5% (higher sulfur content would
require more frequent oil changes). At low ambient temperatures (below freezing), use winter grade diesel fuel. At
higher temperatures, use summer grade diesel fuel. Observe strict cleanliness when filling the fuel tank.
5. Check the engine oil level before starting the engine or more than five minutes after it has been
stopped. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean, reinsert it, take it out again, and check the oil level. If the
oil level is too low, remove the oil plug and add new oil to the FULL line on the dipstick.
