I just hit 300 hours on my YT347 and it's time to change the transmission hydraulic fluid. I'm looking for TF-500 fluid and I'm having a difficult time finding it on the net and I don't feel like driving to the dealer which is 1 1/2 hours away.

Is anyone using an alternative fluid in their YTs

My son recommended Mobil Fluid 424. He's running it in his LX410.

I looked into this earlier. See attachment, any of these should work. I put in Shell Rotella 550039811 HD Tractor Transmission & Hydraulic Fluid from Tractor Supply, it is the same as Donax TD. No problems at all.

As you can see from the chart, the 424 will work as well
