I use straight SAE30 for the engine oil...

the rest gets 'Tractor hydraulic fluid'. It's good for hyrdraulics, trannies, rearends..

All 4 D-14s have never complained so far......

Motor oil. I like Rotella 10w30 it is diesel rated and I feel it is better in the old motors with flat tappet lifters.
Hydraulic oil as long as it saids aw32 on it you are good.
Transmission and final drives I like 80 90 gear oil. My d17 and d15 have run gear oil since new. There was a service bulletin people talk about that said you could run hydraulic oil in them but I like the thicker oil with the bigger gears. In my experience it keeps the transmission quiter.

That photo you showed looks experience to me I would try the local auto parts store. I would buy hydraulic and gear oil by the 5 gallon bucket. Good stuff to have on hand.

The shuttle or power direct clutch and the power steering if you have it use hydraulic oil.

My preference is the same as Dan.  I think I even got 85/140 in the trans and finals.
