2005 new holland skid steer ls170 turbo It came from auction, so no owners manual. I need to know what weight oil It takes in the engine,hydraulics, and in chaincase if it has one. What is the change interval.The shop mechanic used rotella t 15w40. For some reason it is stuck in my mind that it uses a diesel rated 10w30.Any help will be appreciated.

 

why not order a owners manual, i know i can get one if needed.

pm me , will give you a phone # where they can get it, and ship it to you.

 

I found the number to order the manual inside the cab, but the boss is a supreme tight wad and I wont get refunded for it. How much are they out of curiosity.

 

It uses the same 10w30 in the engine and hydraulics. The only problem is that if someone used regular hydraulic oil in it they won't mix well. I have to order the correct Rotella because my jobber doesn't stock it in gallons, just drums. If I read this correctly, you can order the owners manual from NH for $32.50. http://www.dmcpubs.com/nhconstructio...d=6045427300SP

 

owners manuals are a high. 10w-30 in the engine and hydraulics. be sure to cahnged the breather cap(hydro. res. cap) with every engine oil change. grease the unit weekly, or more. and tighten the lugnuts EVERY DAY after use. the LS170 is a very good machine. i have never seen any hydro pump or motor problems out of one.

 

you can get the 10w30 at a new holland dealer. our local dealership has it in 2 gallon jugs i think (maybe 2.5 gallon.)

 

The above information is correct.I found the complete service manuals for it on ebay for 75.00.I'm sure you can find a owners manual for alot less. on there.

 

Heres a # from ebay Item number: 300139851895 its for a 665 which is the same as a 170.

 

thanks for the feedback.

 

10w30 from the dealer is all that goes in mine. The owners manual does not give you much useful info other than maintance intervals and fluid specs, all of which you can call a New Holland dealer for. A shop manual would be better. I don't have one yet but I will start looking soon. If you don't have aux. hyd. then have fun changing the hyd fluid as there is NOT a drain plug. I found that out the hard way ( I have aux. but did not know to make a hose to drain through it with)
