Hy-Tran vs generic

[Ron Armbruster]

While we are on the topic fluids, what is everyone use for fuel? I like using Turbo Blue. Makes the neighborhood smell like hope!!

yes, i am a parts guy at a CIH dealer, my 2 cents, HYTRAN hydro or gear and the HF6096 F/G filter for the hydros. Hytran will suspend 1% water by volume to make sure it does not settle to freeze that trany up during the winter. it is a non-zinc formula which does not eat at the bronze and brass bushings.

well "cash" I just heard a rumor all petroleum engineers are getting laid off because viscosity doesn't matter anymore... air pressure you put air in your tires???

Just so you'll know and won't have to listen to fake news rumors. Viscosity is no longer making Hy-Tran.

I won't flow with fake news; it gets to be a viscous cycle.

Yes Digger, this is true. after more than 60 years of making the life's blood for RED tractors, CNH has decided to go w/another vendor to make the "NEW" Hytran. CNH new product will suspend 1.0% water by volume. Viscosity Oil will still be blending oil including the Hytran produced right now (as they own the formula and with a different name) after the 1st of the year to different dealers as an aftermarket product, same Hytran as right now, but w/the capability of suspending 1.2% water by volume, same zinc free formula. the Hytranultraction at the dealers now is still from Viscosity and will be for a while as a lot of us dealers put in a big order last month just to make sure we have oil w/the new supply chain coming. i believe the new name for the new Hytran is Hytran Premium. CNH owns the name Hytran, Viscosity oil does not.
