Loadall oil spec

Have a 536-60 loadall 2007 which is due an oil change . The transmission oil in the book says 10W EL4117 but i noticed in an old post someone recommended a 10w TO-4 would Fuchs Titan UTTO T0-4 10W be ok ?
I notice that particular Oil is API-GL-4 equivalent as well which is what is recommended for the front and rear axle Housing and hubs
So question is would that one oil do for the whole lot it would certainly make life easier.
This loadall is new to me but seems quite harsh on the shuttle and when changing gear but maybe all JCBs of that vintage were like that
Any advice welcome

The 10w oil will be okay i think, i would use Morris Terrain CT10 if customer didnt want genuine.

BUT that oil is way to thin for the axles, i wouldnt put anything other than the genuine HP plus oil in the front axle/diff. you can use standard EP80-90 in the wheel hubs and rear axle of that model.

The JCB Gear oil HP Plus and the manitou wet brake oil is a bit of a wierd one, there is no direct equivalents of them only ones that claim to be so but i have never found any of them that work particually well.
