The answer to your question is in the owner/operator manual and the work shop manual. Do you own either of these important publications? If not, you should because they give all the important service information that is necessary to do basic maintenance on the machine.

Since DR gave you the complete answer :) , the specific answer is either. In your moderate climate, I'd go with the gear oil.

BTW, if you download the myKubota app and register your tractor, you can have access to the Op Man on your phone. Your dealer will probably download the WSM onto your thumb drive for a few bucks.

When changing out front axle oil (1000 hrs.) does Kubota recommend SUDT2 or 80w-90 gear oil?
From the L48 WSM....Page G8.....

8,5 US qts.
SUDT or SAE 80-90 gear oil,
Does not specify SUDT 2!
