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. |
