Amsoil in Kioti HST

[liberty2701]

Any one here on the forum use Amsoil in your kioti HST? I will be taking delivery on a new DK50se hst and would like to use Amsoil at the 50 hr service which will be pretty quick with all the work I have planned. Salesman stated I need to use factory fluid which I know is not correct nor legal regarding warranty laws. If you used it did you notice a diff? I used it in my MF HST and it definitely made the trans smoother.

Well there are 5 "factory fluids" listed in the owners manual, one of which is not manufactured any more, Daedong UTF55, Exon Mobilfluid 424, BP Tractran UTH, Exon Mobile Hydraulic 560 Shell Donax TD. (I believe that is now called Shell Spirax).

As you can see there are several fluids that meet spec. I used the Exon Mobilfluid 424 in mine. I would think if you Amsoil is designed for Hydrostatic systems and for tractors with wet brakes, it would be fine.
