Oil & Fuel - NAPA Premium Heavy Duty Traactor Hydraulic and Transmission Fluid Specs (2024)

Many of us have struggled with finding a suitable hydraulic oil for our Kioti's in local markets. I have used NAPA Premium Heavy Duty Tractor Hydraulic and Transmission Fluid for a few years in my old tractor and now in my new Kioti. It is not the cheapest, but it is reasonable plus you know what you are getting. The mulit grade hydraulic fluid specified in my owner's manual are hard to find. I found the tech line for NAPA's hydraulic oil. After calling, these are the oil specs. I also put the tech line info below. Note: this is for U.S. markets.

Both will fit the bill; however, NAPA has over 6000 locations, to TSC's 1200+. People should be able to get one of the oils.

I hope its right, I'm picking up three buckets tommorow.:confused2:
Its kind of confusing, is says on the Material Safety Data Sheet
NAPA PREMIUM TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID
Gravity
by ASTM D

I don't get it, the Martins guys says 10-20 but the msds says 10-30?

Call Terry from Martin above. He is one of the Oil techs who can answer your concerns. When I talked with him, He sure did not sound as if he was guessing. I would guess the product has changed to keep up with the new machine requirements, and they have not updated the MSDS sheet. I also emailed their customer service center asking for the most up to date full specs of the oil. I like stuff in black and white. I will post their reply.

I am fortunate in that I drive right by both a tractor supply and NAPA on my way to work...
That is in addition to Advance Auto Parts, Auto Zone, Reilly's, Wal Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, Northern Tool, Harbor Freight...
No wonder I stay broke...LOL
In all seriousness, we've been using tractor supply products for years with good results...
NAPA carries excellent parts and oil also...

Lowes and Northern Tool would do me in. :dollarsign:

Yeah NAPA and TSC are both great companies and both have good products.
When I had the Kubota the shop here wanted $400 for oil change at 50 hours, I did it for $150, a lot of difference, priced out oil and TSC was the best price.

Just a FYI, anytime doing shopping on the net at places do a search for "Coupon Codes" "name of store", most have a online coupon code that you enter at checkout, might be 10% off 15% or more, or free shipping, never know some don't have any codes some do. Just a tip to save a few coins.
