Is it supposed to have hydraulic oil or straight 30w? It is a vain pump. The wet clutch is 30w according to the tag. Also the transmission fliud, someone told me it is the same as engine so 15w-40?

The instruction to use engine oil came from the days when we used 30W before the days of 15W/40. The proper oil for hydraulics is 10W hydraulic oil, unless you are in a very hot climate when 30W is OK.

Engine oil is okay in the hyd system but always use TDTO in anything with a clutch. Flywheel clutch, steering clutches or powershift trans. Hystat machines need Advanced 10 Hyd oil in the drive system.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
