Here's some FYI for ya if you ever have to change the oil in the hydro. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...rue#Post2749509

What does the manual say? That's always the best place to know for sure. I know for my Ryobi 4 stroke it calls for 20w-50. I am running 15w-40 Amsoil AME diesel oil in it now.

I know the OP has an auto tranny, but do not put Dex VI in a manual tranny or transfer case that requires Dex III specs. DexVI is way too thin for manual tranny's and transfer cases requiring DexIII specs. There are service bulletins all over the GM community warning techs against this.

Took me four hours to remove the mower deck, remove transmission, drain, refill, re-install transmission, re-install mowerdeck and take it out for a quick test run. IMHO it is a very easy and straight forward job. No special tools are needed whatsoever unless you consider snap ring pliers a...

AAM is the manufacturer of the axles in our Dodge's. Right from the horse's mouth AAM... nothing more than 75w-90 would ever be needed unless you are towing max weight in Death Valley temps all the time. My last diff fluid change had 100,000 miles on the diff fluid. I used Amsoil Long Life...

I know some people are just wrapped around buying "made in USA", but I had no issues buying my new Fuji Roubaix 2.0.
