Must Know Tips for Winterizing Your Kubota Engine

1.) Fuel Tank - Make sure your fuel tank is full or completely empty. If you're going to leave fuel in the tank, add a fuel conditioner with an anti-gel additive to remove moisture and maintain fuel flow. We recommend Diesel 911 sold at NAPA stores or Stanadyne Fuel Conditioner sold by fuel house or specialty diesel suppliers.

2.) Battery System and Alternator - Check your battery system and alternator. Over the summer months, batteries tend to lose fluid which results in the battery not charging properly and the cables corroding as the temperature drops. Check the battery fluid, make sure the cables are tight, remove any corrosion from the cables, and make sure the alternator is charging correctly.

3.) Radiator Fluid - Must use a 50/50 ratio of Antifreeze and H2O for Kubota engines.

4.) Crankcase Engine Oil - 10w30 is a standard oil (any brand name will do) and is recommended for most Kubota engines. However, you should refer to your operator's manual for variations.
