The label on the pail has changed also. I purchased 5gal. and the label caught my eye whan I was switching pails. I don't have it in front of me now but if I remember right it has 10W 30 on the label now. Same order # and the price went up a little also.

So far my new one has not broken yet.

But I am on hyd hose #4, yes #4 on my FEL. The green labeled hose keep leaking..unreal

I also noticed that on the price. I am going to order some stuff for all my auto's ($165) and noticed the new fluid etc.

The fluid is an SAE 5w-30

I need to test the Bx's oil. 5-gallons of the hyd fluid is like $7X.XX

That's what Super UDT is. I used 10 gallons of Chevron All Weather THF synthetic at about $65 gallon. It's orange so is easier to see on the stick. I just did the change a few hours ago. Don't notice any difference from UDT but it's 65 degrees today and well, my hydrostatic drive already runs perfect, so whats left, more perfect? Rat...

Did I miss something. $65 a gallon or $65 for 10-gallons?

Look one post above mine it's the one where you mention "

I was working off that, 5 gallons is $65 not $65 a gallon like I typed. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

One thing to watch with Amsoil is that they choose their word wisely. "Recommended" for and "meets qualifications for" are 2 different things.

Many of their oils have no API certification, just "recommended for" API services.

I'm not saying it is a bad product. Just watch the wording.

The latest Amsoil Action News had writeup on pg 10 their tractor hyd-trans fluid. Product # UTTO

Lists Kubota Super UDT...

I know they do not have a litte "star" for API certification on most of their oils. They pass the spec and that is all the matters.

Their oils have higher ZDDP, which is good, and if going for a little star, their zddp would be low.

I just noted it was weird

I contacted amsoil and got the manager of Amsoil Technical Services

"Mike,

I apologize for the confusion. ATH can however be used in the hydraulic systems of applications calling for Super UDT.


To summarize:

ATH can safely be used however in the hydraulic system of ANY Kubota application that calls for UDT or Super UDT.


I hope this clears up any confusion".
