That makes sense.
Here's a question on the inverse: per this Deere publication on Hy-Gard UTF
PMB Product: ,
"Hy-Gard oil can be used in most applications calling for 10W-30 or 5W-30 engine oil for transmission and hydraulic oils. Note: Hy-Gard should be used in all applications calling for JDM J20C."
After reading that, I wonder if 5w30 gas oil or 15w40 diesel oil are suitable to top-up the hydraulic reservoir on my 40 year old backhoe (that is only operated in mild climate). The backhoe manual says J20C oil should be used. J20C-equivalent UTF is what I've always put in it but I'm more likely to have engine oil on hand when I notice it needs topping up. Any comments?
