LK3054 Transmission fluid help?

[DennisZ]

I bought a used 94 Kioti LK3054 DSL and want to change the transmission fluid. I can't find any of the brands or types listed in the owners manual in my area. If you have a LK3054 please tell me what fluid you are using. Is there a John Deere equivalent that anyone is using? The brands listed for use in the operator manual are: Donax TD, Donax TM, Mobile Fluid 423, Exxon Torque Fluid 56. The equivalent for Donax is Shell Spirax S4 TXM. The equivalent for Mobile 423 is Mobile 424. Unfortunately, I can't even find these where I live. The nearest Kioti dealer is 200 miles away. Thanks for your help.

List the brands that are listed and maybe someone can help with crossing them over..

I have an '04 3054TLB and use Tractor Supply "Traveler UTF". There are better (read more expensive) fluids available, John Deere, Kubota etc., but the TSC stuff seems to work just as well

Thank you! I edited my original post to include what the operator's manual says I should use. My 3054 is a 94. I assume the oil requirements didn't change in the 10 years after mine was made. Again, I appreciate your help.

I have found shell spirax at several WalMarts.
