Mine went together by hand everything fit good. I used the lock washers. You have to feed the lock washers to the bottom, or they will bind and not go all the way. The larger lock washer is bad on the company's part. the ID is too small to fit nice over the thread.

hello..hope you'r fine...i call the tech of my yamaha DSL 11000,with Kubota engine,becausee when i search the instructions for service,on oil change,say's SAE 10W30 and i think SAE is for normal engines,but don't know whay from fabric say that,so they that they use Amsoyl full synthetic 10w30 for Diesel engines...i just don't understand why from factory say that...i buy for my first oil change the Shell Rotella 10W30 SYNTHETIC..and the oil filter K&N HP-1004....
@S.Masters10 ай бұрын
Good question. I was told by the Tech at Kubota in Colorado Springs to use either Shell Rotella 15W-40 or Mobil 1300 15W-40. It's what I've used since the second oil change. When doing just an oil change it takes ABOUT 115 ounces (just under a US gallon) When doing the oil filter and oil change, it's right at about a gallon. I agree, SAE, Last I knew, was for gas engines. I did a quick search online, and this is what came up on the first page: "Yes, you can put 10W30 in a diesel engine. The oil will flow just fine and won’t cause any damage. However, your engine may not run as efficiently as it could with a thicker oil." That was from vehiclesexhaust.com/can-you-put-10w30-in-a-diesel-engine/ (literally the first result) I hope it helps. :)
