Overview
A hands-on owner maintenance session on a BX23S at the 367-hour mark covering oil change (filter part numbers, 15W40 oil choice), air filter swap, hydraulic fluid top-off, front axle fluid check, and coolant drain. The standout is a practical workaround for draining the coolant overflow tank using an air compressor instead of removing it. Useful for BX owners tackling the same service interval.
