Synthetic or Dino

[CanuckGT]

Ok, now I got the filter issue figured out its time to decide on what trans/hydro oil to use.

Now I live in Alberta,Canada so I plan on using my Ck30 hst for snow removal in winter as well as moving dirt,rocks,etc around my acreage this summer, so the way I have it figured I think synthetic fluid would be better for my purposes.

What is everyone else using?

Checkout Texas Refinery Corp Univers Torque Fluid.

I use their products for everything. Not the cheapest but top quality. Call them and tell them exactly what you are using it for. They will sell direct and ship to you no charge.

Kubota US also sells a synthetic, SUDT-2, but since Kubota Canada uses a different supplier, I don't know if a similar synthetic universal tractor fluid is offered or not.

I went to the Chevron bulk location that also has a retail outlet and got my hydraulic oil from there. Chevron 1000THF, comes in 5 gallon pails. :tractor:

I'm using mobile hydrual extra here in south western ontario canada.
The mobile tech said it would be good in this climate. I was going to use amsoil but i get my oil from work at a good deal if you know what i mean
