Looking for suggestion for Hydraulic Fluid for Mahinda 3525

Only see 2 listed in Manual Chevron 1000 THF Texaco - TDH Oil Special

Does anyone know the specs. I need to look for from fluid from Walmart or Tractor Supply or a suggested brand of fluid to use.

Walmart has a brand Warren 303 or Warren Oil WARTTHF6 1 gal Tractor Hydraulic Fluid, would this be good ?

Most mahindra call for universal tractor hydraulic fluid GL4 , don't use Warren if it don't state GL4 , the least costly I've found is Sinopec universal tractor brake fluid it's gl4 rated 10w30 it held up great but I used in my emax25 with hst , ordered through walmart.com. Other than that the mahindra universal tractor hydraulic is good as any, chevron 1000 I hear is also good stuff but make sure you getting a api GL4. I've tried several different products tractor supply fluids if I recall don't state gl4 while she'll rotella did have the specs but broke down quickly so I don't use any she'll product in my tractor. Problem with gl5 fluids / oils is its harsh on yellow metals like copper , brass, that's why GL4 is used in machines apparently copper or brass is used in the transmissions plus gl5 could harm seals causing leaks. Personally I keep away from Warren in newer tractors and equipment. If a good fluid at a price that's reasonable go with Sinopec around $45 for five gallons and free shipping, when I purchased it was around $38.
