leeave96 487 #4 Posted February 5, 2014 SYMPATHETIC .... Would that be an oil that was sorry your tranny died ? Sorry leave96...........I couldn't resist ..... That's what I get for using the voice recognition on my phone when replying to these posts!!!!!!!! Maybe what I meant to say was - to be sympathetic to my tranny, I use synthetic oil... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,415 #7 Posted February 5, 2014 so it dont mater what i use Umm..no....it does matter, your machine should have 10w-30 or maybe 10w-40 motor oil. Not universal hydraulic fluid or transmission fluid. Here's where you might have a problem. If the owner before you dumped in some home-grown concoction or mix you'll need to make sure its ALL OUT before you add the correct oil. Remember to get a new filter as well. It sounds like you have a TORO dealer nearby so get it from them. Mike........... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
