Trans fluid, is tractor oil good?
Trans fluid, is tractor oil good?
I have searched for a while for an answer. Is running the Mobil 424 tractor fluid in the trans a good idea or not?
Some posted a while ago they had just put it in, but no updates. Anybody?

What trans? What year?
Isn't that 'tractor fluid' just a hydraulic oil?

its a hydraulic/transmission oil for tractors and farm stuff, Case, Deere, Cat, Bota, etc etc
i would think if you could use it in ANY car trans it would be the manual ones, not even sure of that
