Oil & Fuel hydro oil

Anyone know the API # for use in Hydraulics in a DK-40SE?

I know that kioti approves this list of hydraulic oils

Exxon Hydraul 560
Exxon Torque Fluid 56
Pennzoil Hydra Tranz
Mobilfluid 424
BP TracTran UTH
Shell Donax TD
Citgo Mystik JT-5 Universal
Texaco TDH Oil

I know some of these are API GL-4.

There are other oils beyond this list that are fine to use as well. Personally I use Travelers premium universal in my DK45se HST

I just used Chevron THF 1000 in my 2610 hst. Really cut back on the Hydro noise.

I haven稚 seen anywhere that Kioti states a specific API. Basically, your standard UTF will do. Depending on your climate you値l want to select the appropriate multigrade.

I use a full syn because you can get a better multigrade spread.

I doubt that Kioti recommends it, but Kubota SUDT2 is some real nice fluid.

I was trying to price schaefers hydro oil but the rep wanted the API #.

#315 Simplex Supreme is their Universal Tractor Fluid

I used Schaeffers Simplex supreme 315 in my Mahindra. I have had no issues with it.
I used it in the front axle and transmission/ hydraulic system.
I haven’t experienced any brake chatter, my hydraulics are smooth even when it was -8deg. Out.

Does that price seem way high?
My tractor uses 17 gals. That's a 1600 dollar hydro change. Ouch!!
