Hi,
I use 15w40 in the engines of both my M and 420c. Oil pressure is fine.
The hydraulics have standard grade farm-store hyd oil in them. Hygard is a bit on the thin side. Is noisy in the pumps, and I figure that can't be a good thing. Plus, Hygard slowly seeps past the pump seal on my M and winds up in the engine.
The trans and final gearcases are separate from each other and use 90wt gear lube. Trans fill port near where your left heel sits. Final drives have plugs on the inside about halfway up the sides of the cases.
