Post your latest tractor oil change.

1989 Bolens/Iseki
Out- Shell Rotella T5 with Napa Gold 1064 filter.
In- Shell Rotella T5 10w30 with Napa Gold 1064 filter

The filter this time had a 'P' or o-ring type gasket and the crimp was somewhat different. Paint was different but the sticker was the same-ish. Made in India, previously made in Mexico.
 
2007 Kubota BX2350, 1372 hours

Out: Hastings Filter, Unknown oil
In: Supertech MP Filter, 2 Qts Rotella T4 15W40, 1 Qt JD 10W30 Break-in Fluid (leftover stock)

This will only be ran for a few hours then dumped. Recently reinstalled headgasket and a little bit of valve work on the cylinder head. Its not yet starting and belching black smoke. Continuing to troubleshoot.

2016 JD 1025R, 16 hours
Out: Factory Fill JD 10w30 break in oil, JD filter
In: Factory Fill JD 10w30 break in oil, Supertech 7317 filter

Planning to run until 100 hours

Also doing a UOA on the original fluid. It was sitting for 7 years, expecting it to be ugly.
Also doing a VOA on the JD 10w30 break in oil, I searched extensively and didnt see one.

2016 JD 1025R, 103 hours
Out: JD 10w30 break in oil, Supertech MP 7317 filter
In: Delo XSP 15w40, Fram Ultra 7317 filter

Transmission
Out: 12~ quarts factory Hygard, oem filter
In: 12~ quarts Hygard, oem filter

Front axle
Out: factory hygard
In: factory hygard

Front axle was definitely swirling with metal, consistent with other photos and videos. I use 4x4 most of the time. Transmission oil looked ok, I didn’t bother with the screen but will clean it next time. The transmission is noticeably quieter and less whiny after the change.
