Anybody use Napa hydraulic oils in Mahindra?

Premium hyd/transmission fluid will be fine. Golden west sells one at TSC and Napa has some also

don't run 303 or R&O

Since Mahindra is likely the world's largest seller with huge percentage of those sales being to 3rd world countries, can you imagine the limited choices of the fluids available to those owners? We're spoiled here in that we have too many good options.

I'm tired of trying to find the very limited hydraulic oils that Mahindra specs for 7520. The engine oil is easy enough to find, but the list of compatible hydraulic oils are not available in my area. Specifically:
1. Chevron 1000 THF
2. Texaco TDH Oil Special

Is there really a difference between this and Napa's? Or tractor supply, advance auto, etc.?

Chevron/Texaco is one and the same company, of course. That spec is for a top drawer fluid. Kubota SUDT-2 will certainly suffice and readily available through the massive Kubota sales presence. They do not give it away, but it's good for hundreds of hours of service.

Travellerｮ Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid, 5 gal. - Tractor Supply Co.

this is the stuff to get. Not the stuff in the yellow container. This actually mentions Mahindra on the container.

I also saw the Mahindra recommendation on the can. What would be more important for me however is to see this oil recommendation in the Mahindra manual or website. As long as the warranty is in effect, I'll use the Mahindra fluids. Besides, for the amount of time I use the tractor, my warranty will be almost up by the next oil change. Wouldn't want them coming back at me and not cover the tractor with a "you used the wrong oil" should something break drivetrain wise.

Yeah. 900Hrs and going in my 7520, since I changed to it at ~ 400hrs.
