Never would have thought trying to get some **** hydraulic fluid would take up so much of my life.

I need GL-4 and can't find anything that says on any container of fluid at
Tractor Supply (travelers and one other)
Wal-Mart (rotella and super tech)
Auto Zone (costal)
Oriellys (home brand)


Where are you guys buying this? I understand GL 5 is newer and in some cases it protects yellow metals and all that crap.

This tractor is still under warranty and I just need some GL-4 flat out, please give me a STORE that sells GL-4 universal hydraulic fluids.

Or do I need to go to the dealer?

I could very easily be wrong and probably am but isn't GL-4 and Gl-5 gear oil (90w, 85w-140 etc.) and not hydraulic fluid ?

I just used Traveler Premium UTF. Works good for me, says it meets the waranty requirements for Mahindra on the back.

As for manual transmission gearing, how they are set up and the service factor dictates the use of many different oils. OEMs sometimes recommend automatic transmission fluid such as MERCON or ATF+4, specialty lubes such as synchromesh fluids and API GL-4, 75W-90 viscosity gear lube. The difference in GL-4 and GL-5 is that GL-4 gear lubes have half the extreme pressure additives of GL-5. Because the gear types in manual transmissions do not necessitate the use of GL-5 gear lube, GL-4 is the correct recommendation called for by most OEM’s when gear lube is required.

In all cases synthetic oils and gear lubes provide better fluidity at cold temperatures and higher oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Synthetics also provide longer service intervals than petroleum lubes. By recommending the correct synthetic lube for each application, customers will see the difference and feel comfortable about leaving their vehicle with you for future service
