I was in Costco tonight browsing and saw 5 gal buckets of premium tractor oil. The label said it met Kubota UDT (among others). I was wondering if anyone used this and what their experience was.

I will probably stick with Kubota oil, It is not changed that often and I know sometimes other brands can cause suspicion.

(yes, I did search and yes I have read about non factory oils. I am interested in someone that has used this oil and what there experiences are, not everyone's argument for or against OEM oils)

Didn't know Costco sold hydraulic fluid. The local Costcos in CA don't carry it.

I have used the hydraulic fluid from Sam's Club in five gallon buckets. It is murky and looks dirty when fresh. It would probably work well but I changed it out at half the service interval since it had become dark way earlier than other brands of hydraulic fluid that I've used.

Good point, I was considering Walmart's oil, should be the same. I don't know what the oil in there now is?? But crystal clear.JY.

Sometimes there is information, at times not obvious, about where the oil came from. For example I have a jug of Kubota diesel oil. It has an area on the label where it says "Questions call 1-800-ASHLAND". Ashland oil is Valvolines parent company.

I've used Costco's tractor fluid for about seven years now on my B2710. As far as I can tell, the hydraulics have always worked fine.
