Not wanting to add to the other, emotional thread.
In my modern, non-antique tractors, I use the manufacturers hydraulic/trans oil. The Kubotas, made overseas use Kubota brand factory oil which happens to be made in USA. Note country of origin in the photo.
My point is country of origin shouldn't really matter. If John Deere factory oil is made in Mexico, then so be it. If my Shibaura built Ford uses New Holland 134 that is what I use.
