Greetings all
I have a JD Rotary Mower which had not been used for a couple of years. Opened the gear box and the level of gear oil looked a little low. So, in our shed we had some Universal Tractor Fluid which I added (about 1 cup). Then I checked the JD manual and it calls for API-5 gear oil. Looking at the container, I could not find an API rating, but at Tractor Supply I read another UTF that had an API-4 rating.
Will I be doing serious damage to the mower?
Thanks
