Mobil 424 Universal

[lucasred]

Can some one tell me if mobil 424 Universal oil can be replaced with Farm and Fleet brand or Mystic brand Universal oil?
The application is for a Hydra Mac 1700 Skid Steer. The manufacturer calls for Mobil 424 Universal Hydraulic oil. I've called the mfg and they say that mobil 424 is the oil the manual calls for - no one seems to want to check further than the manual. Any help cross referencing this oil would be appreciatted.
Thanks

from the spec sheet looks like a 9.3 cSt (20wt)typical UTF or universal tractor fluid with anti chatter, low pour point, high VI, John Deer J-20 type oil.

Most Universal trator oils cover the vis spread of most of the major makers and all have anti chatter additives in them some have better base oils to last longer BUT IMHO any good UTF will work fine.

So yes go for the Mystic or farm fleet oils.
