My owners manual lists either UTF or gear oil. Mine has UTF in it. I'm not going to get into a debate on the merits of OEM vs non OEM oils or hydraulic fluids. I said above, while it's in warranty I figured I'd stick with an OEM or recommended fluid. Did the same when I changed the coolant. Actually went a step further and found a Mistubishi service manual for the S3L/S4L motor that explains the different chemicals that should be in the coolant(OAT). With that said, there are differences in oils I pointed out above Travelers, Mahindra UTF and the Ultra UTF are all supplied by Warren Distribution. But they are different according to Warrens MSDS.See below Is that worth extra money. Don't have a clue but I'm trying to learn.
