Re: Saving transmission oil?
Got it. Thanks for the advice guys. I intended to use 15w40 per the chart in the operators manual. But if i do replace i’ll bite the bullet and use Hyguard.

Yesterday after about an hour of working (stump removal, forward and reverse) the transmission stopped engaging after shifting. It was gradual - over the hour I noticed a...
