Iseki TU167 engine oil and fluids: what goes where?

Iseki TU167 engine oil and fluids: what goes where?

Your Iseki TU167 (or TU147, TU157, TU177) runs on a number of different fluids, and it's important to know which one goes where — especially since hydraulic oil and transmission oil share the same system on this tractor. Below you'll find all capacities and types at a glance.

Suitable for the entire series: Iseki Landhope TU147, TU157, TU167 and TU177 (2WD and 4WD versions).

In addition, a number of lubrication points require grease instead of oil: the steering axle/kingpin and the center pivot (2WD only), the clutch and brake pedal pivot points, and on the X version, the 2P lift bracket point.

Iseki TU167: why hydraulic oil and transmission oil are the same

This is a point many owners run into: this Iseki generation has no separate hydraulic system with its own oil. The transmission (gearbox) and the hydraulics for the lift mechanism share the same 12-liter giro oil reservoir. In practice, this means two things:

• If you change the transmission oil, you automatically change the hydraulic oil as well — and vice versa.
• A too-low oil level in this system doesn't just affect shifting, but also whether the lift mechanism and power steering (if fitted) work properly. Hydraulic pressure that won't build up is therefore one of the first things you should check the oil level for — see our troubleshooting page.

Iseki TU167 warm-up times after a cold start

Before fully loading the tractor after a cold start, the engine must first be warmed up sufficiently. The factory manual provides the following guidelines for this:

Note: the factory manual explicitly warns that loading the tractor too quickly after a cold start can lead to seizing or damage to the hydraulic pump. Especially in winter, it therefore pays to be patient before putting load on the lift or the PTO.
