Hytran, Hyguard, and all other "tractor fluid" is designed for power steering, transmissions, and hydraulics as well as clutches and brakes. Basically the ideal fluid. Regular hydraulic oil is just that, hydraulic oil. Only applications designed for it will last. Usually, pumps, cylinders, and hyd motors use straight hydraulic oil. These items do not need friction modifiers, water absorbtion qualities, and multiple component protection. The bearings and such in a xmission designed for tractor fluid will wear much quicker with pure hydrauic oil only.
I'd drain the oil immediatly and replace with the proper tractor fluid. One doesn't need to buy the $85 a bucket hytran. I use a localy packaged off-brand that I pick up at a Bumper-To-Bumper parts house for $30/5 gal after taxes!
The money he thinks he is saving by running cheap hydrauic oil will come back as a VERY EXPENSIVE repair bill.
