Bobcat walk behind help

[coolbrze]

We've got a Bobcat WB mod # 930301 w/ 14Hp Kawasaki engine. Does the engine take 10W-30? What hydraulic fluid does this take? Thanks in advance!

Yes my kawi manual says 10/30 mobil one synthetic,change every 40 hours,along with filter,10 hours if using dino oil.Use same oil for hydro,but that can go 100 hours or more before you change it(check for burnt odor)

is 10w30 right? I read sae 30 and the 10w30 was too thin for summer, I have the same model bobcat, I read a few different things. I'm running SAE 30 right now. Mine ticks at idle, I guess it's the lifters, but sure seems loud.

I used to use 30 weight for mowers,20 weight for snowblowers.But the manual that came with my 25hp Kawi says Mobil 1 10w -30 synthetic or AmsOil 10w-40.Change every 40 hours if using synthetic,if using regular oil change every 5-10 hours.

Mine might be older it's a fc420v on a 01 or 02 bobcat. I don't have the original manuals. I don't want to kill this thing it's my first Kawasaki. Only had Briggs and kohlers before

You really have to change the oil every 5-10 hours with regular oil? That would be every day for a commercial guy. Even every 40 hours can be more than once a week.

No change the oil every 50 hrs. 5-10 hrs is ridiculous.
