Anything I ever did an oil change on was noticeably quieter and seemed to run so much smoother. :)

I've had the opposite experience, and I've changed a lot of oil in the last half century.

Before my HST oil experiment I don't recall that an oil change in engine, tranny, PS, axle, or hydraulics made any audible difference.
I think I'd remember if it had, because it would sure would make me nervous about the oil I was using.
But in HST tranny's it seems that the oil does make a difference in sound. Whether fact or belief, I've heard it mentioned before on TBN & wasn't sure what to make of it.

So it surprised me when I could hear the difference with a different trans/hydraulic oils in the HST M59. I'd guess that anyone could hear the difference.

I'm suggesting that it was highly subjective.

It could be. That's the trouble with evaluating past experiences. There's just no way to reach back and collect real data.
All we can do is assign some value based on the researcher's other work.

I thought that was the hand you are supposed to use, even though for most, it does a terrible job.

How do women with long fingernails wipe themselves anyway? You have to wonder when you see some of them. Or does that question qualify as thread creep?
