Synthetic Trans Fluid for Mahindra Tractor Trans

[UrgentCareGuy]

Any reasonably priced Syn Transmission fluids I could use instead of Mobil Fluid 424? I would feel better using syn.

Thanks!

Actually, I don't know how hot it gets. I was thinking more in terms of moisture resistance and decreased friction. Maybe syn would be overkill?

Average temp doesn't show how toasty some of the localized hot-spots are in a transmission. But, the words "synthetic" and "reasonably priced" usually don't play well together.

Whats the sump size and recommended interval?
