I would recommend a multi wt. oil like 15-40 diesel grade oil because it is thinner in cold weather and thicker when the engine is at operating temp than a single wt oil is at either temp. The multi wt. also has better engine additives for stability. Jim

The transmission on WDs and 45s is separate from the hydraulic system. You can use 20 weight oil or tractor lube, or hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system. It's the
small cap/dipstick on the left of the hydraulic area. The transmission has 3 drain plugs to drain different sections and two fill plugs and calls for a 90 weight gear
oil. Don't forget the final drives. You have to remove the pans to change them, they take 90 or 140 gear oil.
