Yesterday I went to the local New Holland dealer and purchased the oil that they say they use in 8 N Fords.
The oil is Ambra Mastertran Ultraction hydraulic transmission oil

Mat 3540

I know all about the ford spec it's supposed to meet but it don't tell the specs. on the bucket.

Is this the right stuff for my little baby or not ? :? Thanks

Jack

It's easy to find generic UTF fluids at most part and farm stores in 5g pails.

If it costs between 35-50$ it's usually ok stuff.

Ocasionally you see some 20-25$ stuff, that while is ok in an old ford in warm climates, might not be fantastic in cold climates.

Older New Holland MC 134 Hydraulic Oil-

Newer New Holland MC 134D Hydraulic Oil-

Current Tractor Supply Oil-

The stuff TSC sells is going to be the cheapest, is actually just SAE-90 Gear Oil. Comes in 2 gallon jugs. Capacity of sump is 5 gallons but I never put that much in as it will leak out. Go slow, adding up to the full 4 gallons and keep checking often. It should be ok with 4 gallons.

Thanks Dean, I can sleep better now knowing that I don't have to throw away that $80.00 bucket of oil.

It is what CNH recommends not but not what was originally specified when these tractors were sold in the 1940s-1950s.

The CNH recommended oil performs much better, expecially in cold weather, but is somewhat more prone to leakage.
