Transmission fluid spec

   / Transmission fluid spec #11  
...we will see what the fluid cost.

When it comes to "normal" maintenance parts like Oil, Filters, Grease, Etc... its hard to beat the JD price. IMO its not worth shopping around because when you compare GOOD quality filters or Oil to the JD Filters & Oil you end up at around the same price.....
Heck I bought the JD Plus-50 Synthetic 0w40 by the Gallon for cheaper then Mobil 1....I got JD oil in the Crankcase of my GMC truck :D

If you dont need the oil NOW, dealers usually have a spring or fall sales event on oil and such...when I bought my 2 pails of HyGard this spring I save something like 15%

The hygard for Johndeere is made by Chevron. I think thier replacement for it was thf 1000, but not for sure. It has been a while since I talked to them. I called and talked to a Chevron Chemical Engineer. He was very helpful. After searching around for the Chevron I ended up just buying the Hygaurd because the difference was not that much. Also warranty was not an issue for me because mine has expired but if you have warranty I would go through Johndeere for hygard that way if you have a hydraulic failure they can't blame the fluid. Keep your reciept for proof. Saving a few bucks could cost you thousands! Good luck.

Use the hy-guard if you can afford it, but I can see how somebody in a bind could use the cheaper stuff. ;)
