What type of oil should I use for the 50hr oil change? Do all dealers sell a Kubota brand,or do they sell thier own brand. If they sell thier own, I'd probably be better off buying something and a local auto store or Walmart. Thanks for all input!

If your local dealer doesn't sell the Kubota fluids, I think you can order them from tractorsmart. I would stick with Kubota fluids especially under the warranty. I once used Castrol Synthetic oil in my old B7200 and it didn't like it at all. Ever since then, I have used all Kubota fluids just for piece of mind for myself. Just my $.02 ....
