It sounds like to me it is more of a money grab. How much of that money went to the people who bought the products? How far off spec was it? Do they go by a percentage?

I'd also be interested in the actual lab reports on the tested vs claimed viscosity.

I can imagine a couple of points being enough to make a money hungry local govt sure.

I see that TSC and others rate their hydraulic oil product as a substitute for (equivalent?) NH134, they either meet or exceed the spec. How does that relate to the additive pkg offered in 134? Can they meet the spec w/o the same additives?

I know some say they meet he lube specs but not necescarilly the viscosity specs.. etc.

Does the MSDS list all ingredients or only those designated toxic?

For cold climate tractors. I seem to be hitting all the old threads but do have one thing to add here regarding the "Pour Point" ratings on the Multi-G 134 vs, TSC Travellers Universal as they pertain to winter weather temps. The TSC fluid is good to -43.6F (-42c) while the NH rating seems to be -5F (-20C) and the Valvoline UTF is rated at -38.2F (-39c). Why would NH dealers be specifying this for winter use in Vermont? Blizzard get COLD! The TC24D was sold here as snow mover as well as a lawn mower.

From the article " Temperature Stability of Lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids " at Machinery Lubrication Magazine stating "Temperature extremes have a pronounced effect on component materials as well as machine performance. When temperature is too low, fluid viscosity is high. At low temperatures, the fluid often reaches the point where it actually congeals and will no longer flow (pour point). ". Pour Point is part of any oil spec.
