You should replace the transmission fluid with the same type as it has in it presently. If it is amber colored them use 10 W 30 and if it is pink then use Dextron ATF, they are not compatible, do not mix them. The replacement filter should be a NAPA 1410

For engine oil hydro's Mobil 1 For trans oil models I think it was type A which was replaced by Dexron.

Wheel horse used both transmission oil and motor oil. I have a 74 C160 that has motor oil and I use mobile 1 10w30. In my 77 C160 it has transmission oil.

I change my trans oil with synethic aro shell. Change filter as well.
