   Ok, Thank you so much! Is the reservoir on the side of the machine that has the vent cap that has a screw on the middle of it where you put the transmission fluid or does it go in the dipstick hole? I guess what I’m asking is the transmission fluid used for  
   
  the hydraulic side of things too?  |

   Many folks use AW32 or ISO 32 hydraulic oil.

   basically any good 10 wt (approx) oil... Years ago requiring DExtron or Type A or F was a way to guarantee a GOOD QUALITY THIN WEIGHT OIL.... without having engine oil addatives.

   So is Type A a Dexron? I’m only familiar with Type F for all those older cars and trucks as I only drove Mercury and Ford then.
