Oil & Fuel Max26xl Hydraulic Fluid

So many brands listed in the manual but no specs. None are available in my local Tractor Supply (preferred) or auto parts store.
What has anyone used??

I prefer OEM branded or recommended transmission / hydraulic fluid in my machines.
There is zero regulation in "universal" fluids, or the terms like "suitable for use in" or"compatible with" claims.
I would look harder for the specific recommended fluid.

All that said - many here use, and are happy with several TSC branded fluids.

CARQUEST 760-01 tractor fluid.

it has the same spec as Mahindra Universal Hydraulic oil and the same verbage is on the label of the Mahindra oil and the Carquest oil. This leads me to believe they are either made at the same facility or just by "coincidence" are the exact same specification.

I use the Carquest oil in my tractor and know several Mahindra tractor dealers that sell it.

I think you'll have a wider latitude of choices if you have the shuttle shift. If you have the HST version be sure to get what the manufacturer specified.
