I probably should be using the cheapest oil that meets the specs b/c I'm probably wasting my money on the syn stuff, but I guess I'm one of the people who jumped on the synthetic oil bandwagon. Plus I buy it for my car and it was on sale, so I figured I'd use it in the tractor. According to the bottle and the website, Mobil-1 synthetic is rated for diesel API CF and CD use, so the 10w-30 is safe to use for my application.

The hydro fluid is cheap (in price), but it meets all the specs. Plus when I bought the over-priced filter at my dealer, he said he actually sells more "generic" hydro fluid than he does of all the brand specific fluids collectively. He said there is no difference and if it meets the specs you will not void the warranty or cause any damage to the hydraulic system.
