    Case 580SL PS oil type

    Thank you! Glad I double checked. I will try and get a drum of ATF. I may as well compare the genuine oil price too.

    Case 580SL PS oil type

    Thanks Tinkerer. Maybe so but still reluctant to put it in as it is a powershift. Not sure, I know if I go to a dealer they will want me to use oem lubes, but for the condition and amount of use the old machine gets we were hoping for an aftermarket answer. 21L is a lot of ATF!

    Case 580SL PS oil type

    Hi. I’m doing an oil change on a friend’s backhoe. It is a case 580sle powershift model. The manual says the transmission is to run Elfmatic G3 oil? I’ve never heard of it and google doesn’t give me an answer either. I understand it’s an old manual, 90’s era. The standard shuttle shifts use...

    Case 580sle

I don’t get an R when shifting to reverse which to me is possible computer problem or the direction control...

Also cycling the ot test I get a 2 and 5 short to ground. Also now get a do FP fault when holding the m button while...

    Case 580sle

    I could imagine it being a headache to diagnose even with a background in case equipment. I’m just starting out with case but have done quite a bit with John Deere and other farm equipment. Oil levels are all good, I haven’t tested any pressures yet figured I’d work through the electrical side...

    Case 580sle

    Hi everyone from Australia. New forum member, long time follower. There is a lot of great information on here and some masters of case backhoes so I though I would ask for some help. My grandfather has a 580sle powershift model 1999 year. Rough but ready sort of machine. It does all it should...
