Bobcat S185 service

What each system holds and when Bobcat says to change it, with genuine filters and oils. The oil grade for your build is in its operator's manual.

    Fluid: SAE 15W-40 engine oil, API CI-4 or better (Bobcat S185 Operation & Maintenance Manual 6987011 (11-10, revised 11-11), dealer copy)

    Bobcat brings the change forward to every 100 hours in severe conditions; hot, dusty sites are that.

    The dipstick and filler are inside the rear door; a skid steer works in its own dust, and oil kept past its hours wears the turbocharger and bearings first.

Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
