ENGINE OIL

The Cub Cadet 5254 tractor features a relatively low oil capacity of 2.1 quarts (2.0 L), which simplifies oil maintenance yet requires more frequent changes. An oil change interval of every 100 hours is crucial to maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity, especially under heavy operational conditions. Ensure to monitor oil levels regularly, as small capacities can lead to quicker oil degradation and possible engine wear if not maintained diligently.
