Kubota service intervals

My manual lists these service intervals

200 hours - change oil
400 hours - change oil filter
400 hours - change fuel filter
Annually    - change air cleaner element annually or every six cleanings

Some questions:

It seems to me that for just 4.5 quarts of oil it would make sense to just go ahead and change the oil filter along with the oil.  What do you guys do?

Fuel filter change.  Will I have to be concerned about bleeding air from the system after changing the fuel filter?

Final question.  Is 4.5 quarts of oil correct?

That is the same intervals as mine.
I do change filter every time I change the oil.
4.5 qts is about right.
oops: 6 qts of oil

Dave,
 
My Kubota manual describes how to clean the filter with a certain amount of air pressure and to blow air from the inside out.  I am not doing that.  In fact, I can not even get the darn thing loose.  So I will have it serviced soon.  but I will change the oil and filter and the fuel filter.

Drove 25 miles to Sante Fe for oil and a filter and oops -- I forgot the code number for the filter, but I decided to change the oil anyway when we got home.

Question:  Since the filter seems to be attached at a higher point that the crankcase, can I change the filter later?

This situation also demonstrates the wisdom of having a spare.
