30k oci... I just dropped down to 3k as per Blackstone.

Rotella t6 is a good all around oil and I would say hard to beat at $21 a gallon at Walmart.

Found the transaxle actually holds 12gal. I bought universal tractor fluid from my local oil supplier. Its made by ConocoPhillips. Meets a lot of specs including hytran and jd hyguard. So 8 figured it should be a plenty good fluid for the transaxle.

Closet case dealer that's 38 mi or so away has case hytran ultra for $76 for a 5 gal pail. Emailed a local oil supplier about hytran or an equivalent and still haven't received anything back. The $76/pail is as good of a price as I've found online of cheaper products after shipping. Like 15 gal...

Btw I've never ran royal purple anything other than their fuel additive which when I used in my old hyundai my mileage came up a couple mpg for a few tanks, it may of just been the placebo effect, but anyways I've never ran anything else, but from what I've seen royal purples quality looks to be...

Royal purple max atf will be going in the built 47re that's going in my dodge because that is what the builder recommends.

Well they gave me 5 gal of eni: super tractor plus fluid. I don't think I'd trust that in my transaxle, but should be fine in the hydraulic sump that takes 29gal... I've always like mobil oils, would the mobil 424 oil be better than hytran? I can't find a sample on hytran. I'm not going to run...

Hytran the whole way around I believe. I bought my tractor from a kubota dealer. Their tech said universal hydraulic fluid and 5 hat was all. I'm guessing kubota udt.

What about synthetic 75w-90?

Another oil that was mentioned to me was royal purple syntractor, but man that's a little rich for my blood. The hydraulics hold 29 gal then the transaxle is 5.5gal I think so a good synthetic might be a good idea for the transaxle they're really pricey to repair. I may just get the case hytran...

Hello, I have recently bought a '94 case 580sk backhoe. I believe most of its life it's just had universal tractor fluid in it. The factory spec I believe is case hytran in everything except the engine. I'd have to go into a local case dealer, but seen $95 for 5 gal of hytran on the net. I been...

I shelled out my nv5600. I don't believe I'm going to try any sort of additives anymore for anything and just try to stick to good fluids.
