I did find another number on the filter WB178…..when you get on Baldwins site it come up with a B7458?http://catalog.baldwinfilter.com/ Says its for a Foton KM385T
So i dont knw
Tone
Mine has the same number JX0710. the one on the tractor and the extra they give you. Im having a heck of a time finding a cross ref number as well.
ok……so I called Keno T this morning and they told me that they havent updated there data sheet in a while and these newer 385 engines take less oil i guess. He couldnt give me the exact amount but he thought around 4 quarts. He told me to go by the dip stick. So tomorrow on my day off ill drain it to the full mark an see how much I get out and that should tell me close to what it takes for next oil change.
My next issue is getting new filters. I gave napa my filter number off the filter and they cant find anything that crosses over. I think Tone-tone is having the same issue. Its a JX0710 on my filter too. I got Keno looking that up for me now and ill let you know.
Len10 you very well could be right. That's probably what was the amount that was dropped when I changed the oil.I know it looked a whole lot less then what keno's data sheet recommended. So that being said….and after doing some more research it probably does take only 3.6 quarts and would proly put me on the mark with the dip stick. I'll have to drain a little out an next oil change figure out how much it is to the full on the stick an if its 3.6 or so then I'd feel confident in that. Thanks everyone for the help and the comments. I'll update when I call keno an get a day off to figure it out.
When I dropped the oil it didnt have but maybe 4 in 1/2 quarts it looked to me so if I go by the dip stick an not the book then it could be under what it needs. It could easly have the wrong length dipstick tube or even wrong dipstick which would cause a false reading. So………thats why id like to get this correct. As for the rechecking….Ive done that one thinking the same thing as David mentioned and I get the same reading. Really…..5 to 6 quarts sounds more like what this size engine needs and not 4 1/2 or so. Im thinking I might give Keno Tractor a call and see what they got to say about it and ill let you know what they say. thanks
Thanks tone……mine wasnt over an 1/8th when I bought it but when I did the oil change its about a inch over the high mark and I only put 6 quarts in it and left the little over out or the .38. I was sure it wasnt a “check when running deal” but why else would it be that far over. I replaced the filter as well and im asuming that the little over 6 quarts is what makes up the dry filter. Im running it with the inch over for now and it seems to be fine so idk. Thanks
