Both your points are valid but I think there is more to it than that. Here is one example. My Ford 641's manual calls for 20 wt motor oil in the engine. If you look around the Web, you'll find recommendations for 20 and 30 wt detergent and non detergent oil, 10W30, and 10W40 multi viscosity oils. Apparently they all work, as folks recommend them.
I suppose my goal is to obtain some consensus of opinion. Like with most things, the fluid recommendation used by most people is likely the best choice. In another example, I wanted to run the same hydraulic oil in my tractor and Wagner loader. That way, other than engine oil I only have one fluid to worry about. The looming question is what to run, or what works best. Don-Wi’s point about the Oliver being less picky is a perfect supporter of my point, when he mentions one brand being pickier than the other. That is knowledge that comes with (likely) a wealth of experience. I novice trying to learn what to use may get conflicting information which could lead to costly mistakes.I know we will never get everyone to agree on what fluid is best, but I think it could be narrowed down more.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
