JD4310 J20D hydraulic fluid

[arcuriel]

I have a JD 4310 e-hydro tractor. It is low on hydraulic fluid. I went to TSC to try to locate some and did not have any luck. I found some oil at TSC that said it was the same as J20C, but nothing that was for J20D. According to the manual it can take J20C or J20D, but from my research they are not the same viscosity and are to be used in different climates. Can someone shed some light on the differences? Also, what should I be using? I did some research on the forum, but I am still confused.

I can special order hyd. fluid from TSC for $55 part #127701799, but I need it now and cannot wait.

The traveler brand is tractor supply, the chevron maybe napa or check to see if there is a chevron bulk dealer close

Also napa makes a j20D synthetic just go to napa sight and search for j20
