Low Viscosity Hyguard is what you run in the system on a JD 9600.

To expand on what others have said here. my 9600 which I don't have anymore had two different places for oil if I remember right. The hydro has a dip stick with a large opening to pour oil in where the dip stick goes in. This called for low viscosity hygard oil. Then in back of engine platform is a stand alone reservoir for the hydraulic system. On the side of this reservoir was a sticker stating use straight 10 weight non detergent motor oil or something to that effect. I had complained to the dealer years ago about this having so many different oils and they claimed to have drained the hydraulic systems for customers and put in hygard in both these components. I did it also and then proceeded to lose two hydraulic pumps due to cases cracking.To this day we have no idea if the pumps breaking had anything to do with switching oil.

We (at the dealership where I worked) just used lo-vis Hy Gard in all 9xxx combines.
Saw enough of those pump failures regardless of what oil was being used.
