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!

Your call on that, synthetics can sometimes slow the piston ring seating process. ....

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 ....
