Need to mix SUDT/UDT - suggestions?

[Jay4200]

A hydraulic line on my backhoe sprung a leak, and I need to get it fixed tomorrow morning (11th). My tranny level is down at least an inch (maybe two) so I need to top it off. I can't get the Kubota stuff until next week. Do I have to worry about adding some (probably only a couple of quarts) different brand of tranny/hydraulic fluid? If not, please offer suggestions for something that I can get at WalMart.

I'm planning a complete fluid service/change soon anyway, but need something to tide me over (maybe 10-20 hours) - I'm just worried (probably needlessly) about potential mixing incompatibiltes.

Thanks - Jay

I forgot to mention - I'm not completely sure what is in the tractor (L4200GST) now, but since SUDT is recommended in the manual, that is what's probably in there.

I do not like to mix oils. But I do not like running a tractor or piece of equipment low on oil. You can use any oil that meets UDT or SUDT spec's. Especially if you plan on changing oil soon. WalMart carries a hydraulic oil that meets UDT spec's.

I mix SUDT and UDT all of the time. It says right on the SUDT container that it is compatible with UDT.

Those who change from one to another never get it all out of the hoses,valves etc,shouldnt matter

Do you know which ones, or is UDT compatibility prominantly listed on the label?
