[AT] Oil light on - 83 Kubota L305 DT

[Doug Tallman]

Rob, The way I would take it is that there is a pressure reg valve built 
into the filter. I would think the reg valve being in the filter adapter 
would make more sense but I'm not a Kubota person. We've had problems 
with cheapo oil filter elements coming apart and ruining engines in the 
automotive world. Maybe the new filter you just put on is defective or 
doesn't have a valve that it is supposed too?? Another thought would be 
that the oil was too thin from working it hard. Are you using the 
recommended oil? Was the engine overheating? Just some ideas. Doug T
