[Underdog57]

Quick question, is "Super Trac 303 Hydraulic Oil" good enough for my LS 4041H ? I want to use it because i have some on hand and use it in my splitter. Thanks I value everyone's opinion.

Is it good for wet breaks?

Yes it says "multi-service hydraulic/transmission/wet brake lubricant" on the label. I bought it at Family Farm & Home Store.

All I use is the TSC brand, my dealer told me any quality hydraulic oil that is good for wet brakes. I mentioned TSC and he said fine.

Ok, I think I will just use the TSC Travelers premium universal trans/hydraulic fluid. Thanks

Yea the TSC travellers brand states that it has low temperature pumpability. Now if that's now a vote for cold weather operation I don't know what else is , they even made up there own word! :laughing::thumbsup:

As you can probably see I really don't have a lot to do at work today. It's a good thing we are leaving at noon.

I wonder if there is any difference between any of the brands of non-synthetic hydraulic oils with the same spec, ie designed for hydraulic/ transmission sharing and for use with wet brakes. I use Super S Premium hydraulic oil from Atwoods at $39 for 5 gallons that exceeds the spec for Kubota UDT and several other manufacturers spec. My LS dealer said that I could use any hydraulic oil designed for wet brakes.

Is this the right fluid - Traveller® Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid?

That fluid will do just fine.

I have wondered that also. When I had a 2 stroke snowmobile the spec called for TCW3 oil for the fuel, and I looked at the Walmart oil and it was TCW3 rated but what I also noted was the label at the bottom in the fine print manufactured for walmart by Sunoco. Once I read that that is all I used from that point on, that isn't on the labels any longer why I don't know. I guess the real question is just how many different companies actually make different types of oil, and how many different companies just re-label product manufactured by others (just like tractors) probably not as many manufactures as re-labelers!

When I did the 50hr service on my tactor, I used the Super Tech Heavy Duty Tractor Hydraulic and Transmission Fluid. I replaced about 6 gallons and the shuttle shift is smoother now.

Now that is really interesting! :thumbsup:

As long as the oil you use meets the specification spelled out in your owners manual, you are fine.

Yes, there are variations between brands in the additive packages and some will provide more "protection" than others. This is what fuels the great oil thread discussions we see on the net and before that, at the local parts counter!:laughing:

Back in the day, a very good friend of mine ran an excavating business. He also ran a lubricant business on the side to supplant his income during the slow months. He handled a line branded Pennstate which was the house brand of the Bodie-Hoover Petroleum Corp (out of business since 2003). He went to pick up some stock one day and got a tour of the facility. What he saw included a warehouse stacked to the rafters of empty containers from many of the major oil manufactures (Shell, Texaco, etc.) Turns out they blended and packaged for many of the majors at the time. The chief chemist told him that he knew what everyone was doing in their "recipes" and he made theirs (house brand) better.

I used several of the lubricants from my friend back in the 70's and 80's until he retired and never had any problems.
