Walmart Hydrolic fluid

I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't!! Burned up a mower conditioner pump on that stuff one Sunday when Wal-Mart was the only place open to get oil. It's not like you have to buy it that often anyway, and if you do fix the leak. These machines are too expensive to use cheap oil.

Thanks for the replys fella's. I think i wont be using the walmart oil. Like ozley mention it is a shared sump between loader, trans, brakes. etc..I will just pick some oil up from my dealer before i change the hydrolic filter for the 50 hour break-in period..

As for the motor oil i did reach way back and fill from the top of the motor..definitely wont next time but only because it is such a PITA to reach it..also fought to get the oil filter off..even with a screw driver threw it i couldnt get it...wasnt enough room to spin it

..got it eventually with a really mean set of plier looking filter wrench i borrowed from a friend..

That wasn't me about the oil and wet brake warning that was Mr Walker. What he said is very true glad you took his word.
I used a little over a gallon changing the filter but I am slow.
