What oils to use in new to me Mustang MTL325

[Muzbomb]

Hello I just recently bought a used 2009 Mustang MTL 325 tracked skid steer. I am wondering what oils I can run it in? I would like to run Mobil oil products in it as I get them from work. What do you all suggest to run for oils/fluids in each component. Thanks

your owners manual will tell you what spec fluids to use where on the machine, follow that and all will be good!

Yes it is used private sale doesn't come with a owners manual I am going to try find one but was hoping for some info on what recommendation to use as I would like to drain and change all filters now.

a lot of those came from the factory with 10w30 in engine & hyd reservoir they only had to keep one oil to fill both
a good grade of 15w40 conventional is fine for the engine & a good multi viscosity hyd oil will work just fine most which are a 10w30 spec

Hmm ok. Would Mobil 0w40 delvac work as I got this oil for free. I live in Canada where it is cold and would be using lots to clear snow.

you can always find a down load able owners manual or ASK your dealer, they will tell you exactly what fluids they recommend
or the fluid spec's to match with what ever brand you wish!

0W40 is what I use in my Gehl. The book mentions several different weights depending on how cold it get where you are. As far as Firefighter said for the hydraulics. If you don't know when the last time the hydraulic filter was changed, do that too. And if it's diesel engine make sure it says diesel oil on the oil container.

So this is what a service place told me

Fluids:

HYDRAULIC 46 WEIGHT INDUSTIAL HYDRAULIC FLUID A GOOD ONE IS MOBIL NUTO46.

ENGINE 10W30 DMO DIESEL ENGINE OIL

PLANETARY DRIVES 80/90 GEAR OIL

I found a manual jammed in behind the seat haha.

I am having a really hard time finding filters that cross over with the factory ones.

 

[Farmerdad]

Why not just use the filter Gehl recommends? They are not that expensive.

I Googled "GEHL 195568 cross reference oil filter" and got good results.
