Question concerning the correct oil to use in the rear end of a D-10 Series II for the transmission and hydraulics. Operating instructions manual say " Use non-foaming oil. Use S.A.E. 10w-30 for all temperatures". To me this is saying non-detergent, but typically you only ever see non-detergent as a single weight oil, as for example either SAE20 or SAE30. Then there is the universal transmission/hydraulics oils like the TSC Traveller Premium Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid. Kinda stuck on which direction to go on this one. Sorry if this has been discussed before as a search on the forum didn't come up with an answer snowman(MI) ------------- 1950 WD, 1966 D-10 III, 1961 D-10 II, 1966 D-15 II Gas, A-C Minibike, 917 Hydro Mower, 917 Hydro Blower w/cab, West Michigan "Allis Express" |

I use SAE 20 non-detergent in my CA. It is very similar to your D-10, just older. Others will chime in I'm sure.

| I use the type you mentioned in my D10. TSC universal Trans/Hydraulic fluid. I use it in all my tractors. It makes it simpler. |

Same. TSC Universal Hydraulic oil, the stuff in the black jug, NOT the yellow one, in all 3 tractors and my backhoe. Ive done this for years and so far so good. |
