[j emerson]

it is time for the first hydraulic oil change on my 2012 massey 2605. the oil that the dealer reccommends will cost $150 for ten gallons. does anyone know of a cheaper oil that will work as well? I want to use a good oil, but my funds are limited. thanks.

Ask your dealer about setting up a small parts charge account. That way you can get the fluid you need, and can pay it off.

Napa Premium hydraulic/trans oil 1/2 the price. and is what my MF dealer stocks in lieau of the MF brand.
My manual says to change the oil after the first 100 hrs, but my dealer says that 250 hrs is more reasonable. But then my manual also says to change the trans oil every 750 hrs thereafter and my dealer says 500 hrs.
Either way you can get the correct oil at Napa for around $70.
