So if I don't put enough hours on the tractor to even make the engine oil worth lasting (If I change it once a year, it only has maybe 3/4 of the hour life used), and I change the hydraulic oil every few years when water becomes a problem or something else I should be fine. I think is what you are saying is that the addatives won't take as much use as the higher price oil? That is kind of like buying expensive tires vs. cheap tires. The cheap ones may only last 2/3 to 3/4 of the hours, but are about 1/2-2/3 the price. They may have to be changed a little more, but if you lose one after only a couple hours of use, then you won't be out as much. So if I lost the fluid in my tractor after only a 100 hours, I would not be out as much as if I bought the expensive stuff, but if nothing happens, it breaks out to be about even once labor is factored and everything else. I figure if it meets the specs, it has to be able to last the time the fluid is called to be changed and when my 7000 was designed and builts, I bet half the packages they use in oil were not even being thought of, so if I keep the same brand oils it won't know the difference between wally world and say AGCO powerfluid 815. That is just my understanding...
