I recently purchased a used 2005 standard flow T250. I contacted our local dealer about replacing all filters and changing the hyd oil. He said there were 8 filters. I know there are 2 case drain, 2 hyd filters, oil fuel and air filters. What is the last filter? He also quoted a price for the filters and 5 gallons of hyd oil for $460.00 and change after taxes. Does this sound about right? I though a couple hundred should do it but hey, I'm new at this. Just curious. It has napa filters on the hydraulics right now. I keep getting the low charge pressure code when idling. The display shows it to be about 325psi. What do y'all think? I would like to build a good relationship with my local dealer as I know that I will be buying from him in the future but WOW!! Didn't know filters averaged out at $50.00 a piece.

try fleet filter.com ..all wix filters ..they charge 1/2 what my local napa guy charges ..another 10 to 20 % off after that depending how many you buy ..they don't have the case drain filters though ..i believe dealer only item ...i had a min so i looked yours up on thieir application page ..looks like about 85 dlls. for inner and outer air filters,oil ,fuel ,and hydraulic ...plus shipping .buy two sets and get 10% off ...will most likely cover your shipping cost. building a good relationship with your dealer is a good idea but building him a new house is another thing..the parts department will love you if you pay the price and get a parts manual... you won't be calling looking for the thingy that attaches to the dohicky that pulles the red thing ...i call with a part number ..he has it or needs to order it ,but it save him a ton of time .plus the parts manual help you remember what order thing go back together in

Thanks guys. I thought that seemed a bit high. I will try the website and see what I come up with. Do I have to use bobcat oil or is there any certain specs of the hydraulic oil to look for?

bobcat oil is around $78.00 for five gal. I have been told not to use trans-hyd. oil. It has additives that are not needed. I just looked at tractor supply and hyd oil is around $40.00. Is $40.00 worth it? Five gallons will do a oil change, called for every 1000 hrs. For $40.00 I think its well worth it to just by the bobcat oil
