What farm equipment usually needs
Most farm machines run on a handful of fluid types. Getting each one right matters more than any brand name, so start with your operator’s manual or the AMSOIL agriculture lookup.
- Tractor hydraulic/transmission oil. Many tractors share one fluid between the transmission, hydraulics and wet brakes. AMSOIL makes a Commercial-Grade Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil for this kind of system.
- Diesel engine oil. Tractors, combines and skid steers mostly run diesel engines. AMSOIL offers several heavy-duty diesel oils, and the lookup shows which one and which viscosity fits your engine.
- Grease. Loader pins, PTO shafts, hitches and implements go through a lot of grease. AMSOIL synthetic greases are made to resist water and hold up under heavy loads.
- Gear lube and coolant. Final drives, gearboxes and cooling systems round out the list.
Use the lookup, not guesswork
The AMSOIL agriculture lookup lets you search by equipment make and model and lists recommended AMSOIL products for each system on the machine. If your tractor is older or not listed, check the manual for the required specification and compare it with the product’s data sheet on amsoil.com before you buy. For diesel pickups and trucks that work alongside the equipment, see AMSOIL diesel oil.
