Transmission Oil

Use the appropriate oil viscosity based on these air temperature ranges. Operating outside of these recommended ranges can cause premature hydrostatic transmission or hydraulic system failures.

Avoid damage! Mixing of Low Viscosity Hy-Gard™ and Hy-Gard™ oils is permitted. DO NOT mix any other oils in this transmission. DO NOT use engine oil or “Type F” (Red) Automatic Transmission Fluid in this transmission.

John Deere J20C Hy-Gard™ transmission and hydraulic oil are recommended. John Deere J20D Low Viscosity Hy-Gard™ transmission and hydraulic oil can be used, if within the specified temperature range.

Other oils can be used if recommended John Deere oils are not available, provided they meet one of the following specifications:

• John Deere Standard JDM J20C
• John Deere Standard JDM J20D
