The transmission? How are you dumping and filling the transmission after 4 lawns? There is a lot less than 2 Qts of oil.

There might be a "better" oil.

I just changed the HRC hydro stat oil. The wife cuts the lawn every 4 days and the laws is 15,000 sq. feet and it takes her about 2 hours per cutting from April to November. I calculated the approximate hours to be 105 hours during the season and the oil looks dark grey/ black after one season.
