You invested heavily in your equipment – make it last for the long haul. Even though it encounters some of the harshest operating conditions in the industry, Genuine Kubota parts offer simple solutions to extend the life of your equipment’s industrial engine.

We’ve laid out an overview of Genuine Kubota oil and filter benefits (a true dynamic duo).

Trust in the highly efficient Kubota oil filters

Research shows that over time, the filtration efficiency rate of a Genuine Kubota filter is superior to that of an aftermarket competitor. The effectiveness of Kubota filters actually improves as the hour’s pass – unlike our competitors.

How do they work? It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3. Kubota oil filters use three specific elements to remove contaminants from your engine: the filter or “outer filter”, internal filter, and sealing gasket.

Our filters use synthetic fibers to provide high-efficiency filtration and hot oil resistance.
The internal filter element uses steel caps bonded to the filter media to increase its structural strength.
Sealing gasket compounds are designed to stand up to sever-duty service and high-temperature operation, reducing the risk of oil leakage.

Lubricate, cool, and clean your engine all at once with Genuine Kubota oil

Developed specifically for Kubota industrial engines, using our oil is a simple way to increase the lifespan of your engine and protect its performance. Its superior features include:

Excellent heat resistance and stability. Kubota oil minimizes high-temperature degradation and maintains the proper viscosity.
Accurate cleansing and dispersion properties. Kubota oil works to cleanse the soot from your engine and absorbs tiny particles for fine dispersion.
Improved resistance to engine wear. Our oil is blended with specific additives that substantially reduce deterioration on your engine.
Manufacturer’s quality assurance. Because Kubota oil precisely conforms to our strict quality standards, it will outperform competitors and last throughout the full oil change interval recommended for your engine.

McCormick Presents the New “Oil Chooser” System Lubricant

Michele Catinari — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 17:00:08 +0000

Lubricants help maintain the peak performance and efficiency of tractors, so McCormick has created a new system that helps people find the one that best suits their requirements: the new McCormick “Oil Chooser” portal.

Maintaining the reliability of your machine over time is vital in order to allow you to carry out your work to the required standard, but it is not always easy to identify which lubricant corresponds to your specific needs. That’s why McCormick has created a new system that will make this step swifter and easier.

Because the right lubricant ensures reliability and efficiency

The right lubricant for every part of your tractor is the one produced according to precise technical specifications so, relying on those who designed and built it, will help you protect it better than anyone else.

This is because every lubricant is the result of our extensive product research and tests on specific models that can help you keep it in excellent conditions, avoiding possible malfunctions due to prolonged and demanding use that can cause:

the friction of the mechanical parts
overheating of components
the build-up of residues that corrode the gears.

Our original lubricants have been created starting from raw materials consisting of the latest generation synthetic bases with high technological value additives.

The use of state-of-the-art lubricants guarantees a number of advantages such as:

better response to stress even when the vehicle is used in more demanding working conditions
better performance at lower operating costs.
increased environmental awareness

FPT Industrial Launches a New Original Lubricants Line

Michele Catinari — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 17:00:07 +0000

FPT Industrial further expands its products and services portfolio offering for the USA and Canada customers with the launch of a new and comprehensive line of high-quality, high-performance lubricants.

Designed and produced with customer missions in mind, the new FPT Industrial Genuine Engine Lubricants Line is developed to ensure maximum fuel efficiency and the highest engine performance under all working conditions, the harshest included, thanks to a new winning formula that meets the most advanced technological requirements. The main advantages offered by their use are performance and long life as well as high reliability and reduced operating costs.

Developed for all off-road, power generation, and marine engines, the new heavy-duty
lubricant range has been tested and approved by FPT Industrial engineers under demanding laboratory conditions and through extreme load tests in the field. The entire lubricant range is designed to cover all specific missions, maximize protection and performance, protect engines from wear and tear, extend durability and service life, reduce fuel and oil consumption for enhanced environmental protection.

“Our customers rely on the performance and quality of their equipment. For this reason, after designing their engines we have developed the best solution to take care of them.”

says Mauro Tortone, After Market Solutions, TCO & Services Development for FPT Industrial.

Volvo Construction Equipment Extends Oil Change Intervals to 1000 Hours

Michele Catinari — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 17:00:51 +0000

Advancements in Volvo CE lubricant technology, coupled with new high-performance engine filters, cut engine drain intervals and costs by up to 50%.

Volvo Construction Equipment is releasing new oil change filters that extend drain intervals to 1,000 hours for articulated haulers, wheel loaders, and excavators. Longer intervals save customers up to 50% on maintenance costs and planned downtime without compromising component performance or longevity.

The maximum engine oil change interval is now 1,000 hours (or 12 months) when using Volvo Engine Oil VDS-4.5 15W-40 or VDS-4.5 10W-30 engine oils in conjunction with Volvo high-performance engine oil filters. The extended-interval filters can be ordered from the factory on articulated hauler models A25G–A60H, wheel loader models L60H–L350H, and select excavator models from EC140E–EC950F.

No component on heavy equipment works harder than the engine oil. From minimizing friction to keeping the engine cool and preventing wear on all moving parts, lubricants clean the system by capturing and filtering combustion by-products.

“Maintenance costs are an important part of the total cost of ownership, and the extended oil change interval is an important addition to our Volvo Services solutions to drive uptime, productivity, and profitability,”

said Alessandro Pasa, director, Volvo Services and Aftermarket Sales.

How It works

The new Volvo Engine Oil VDS 4.5 15W-40 and 10W-30 lubricants are formulated to better suspend contaminates and maintain viscosity. The oils are proven to resist sludge formation over the full 1,000-hour drain interval. Improved oxidation and higher thermal stability mean better protection, even under the most severe off-highway applications where engine temperatures can be very high.

Lengthening the time between drain intervals gives customers tangible cost savings in labor and materials while increasing machine uptime. Reducing the frequency of oil changes also has employee safety, environmental, and sustainability impacts.

Volvo Engine Oil VDS-4.5 exceeds the performance level of standard engine oils currently offered on the market. These high-quality mineral-based engine oils were rigorously tested using the Volvo Group’s T-13 engine test, which measures piston ring wear, cylinder liner wear, lead corrosion, oil consumption, oxidation, and nitration. VDS-4.5 lubricants passed with significant margins that exceed industry standards. No measurable component wear was observed, even after the full test period was completed.
