Kubota SVL90 - My back savior

[Ridinhigh1500]

Most OEM filters be it CAT, Bobcat, Kubota or CNH are usually made by Donaldson. That being said some companies like Bobcat have deals with Donaldson where you can only buy the fuel filters through a Bobcat dealer. All Kubota construction equipment runs a AW 46 Hydraulic fluid. All though not stated from Kubota but it recommended is that if you have a Tier IV machine run a ULS ( Ultra Low Sulfar) oil. The sulfur is regular 15w 40 can clogg up the DPF over time and make your machine want to regen more. Also the fuel lift pump on SVL 90's - SVL 97's have a screen filter that needs to be cleaned out every so often. As far a parts price goes because almost all CAT compact construction equipment runs Kubota engines some things are cheaper at the CAT dealer. Case in point is fuel injectors we needed some at the shop and our price as a Kubota dealer was $1,000 a piece from Kubota the local CAT dealer they were $300 out the door.

This is for a SVL 75 and SVL 95 but this fuel update kit will fit the SVL 90. It is far superior to the old style but I believe it is about $1,000 for the kit. It does sound like a lot but the injectors are $1,000 each and the common rail is about $1,300 and the high pressure fuel pump is over $4,000.
