MF 7475 Dyna VT Trans Oil

for what its worth,
this is the oil i use here, mobilfluid 426,

MOBILFLUID 426

www.mobil.co.uk

i use it here across the board in transmissions, have a cvt here and its all she ever got as well.
its dearer than the standard run of the big brands but not a lot more really.
the specs are in that link above, youl find it hard to beat it tbh.

as for engine oil, i use Mobil delvac 15/40 mx, its a long drain oil but i still change it every 300 hrs on everything.

I dont know where the servicing intervals are going when it comes to manufacturers, they are pushing it further and further out all the time, sure they would say the oil has got more advanced and is fit for it but i don't know.
got a new mower here a few months ago and i see their recommending the first oil change after 50 hours cutting.
the mower it replaced had the same bed all be it an earlier model yet that book says to change it after 10 hours of cutting...
best of all they recommend the same oil for both.

car engine here that only needs an oil change at 10,000 miles, thats not good for any engine in my book.

You are a product of your age.
Some mowers use thin synthetic oil that never needs to be changed in their beds. These are premium brands.
12500 miles is about average for oil change intervals nowadays with some now at 20,000 or two years, whichever comes first. For most of these vehicles it will not be a worn engine that sends them to the scrapyard.

The Mobilfluid spec sheet is full of marketing bull. When it boils down to it, it is just another UTTO.

10000 miles for a car is only 333hrs at an average of 30mph. I only change my car oil somewhere between 10 and 15k. Done this since I bought it with 74k on the clock, next trip of the clock is going to be 255k! Engine is now best bit about it...

i use fully synthetic oil in the bed of my mower but i still change it every few years, as you say, im a product of my age but im quite happy to be.
even tho the oil might be good for an eternity of service the parts around them may not be, a change of oil before its due certainly cant do any harm or not in any of my engines anyways.

your probably right about the engines and the car around them but possibly not in every case.

as for the oil, ive used it here for 20 or more years, couldn't ever fault it as an oil, i use all mobil oil, i find i get what i pay for.

but thing is, if your as happy saying its marketing bull as I am for thinking its good oil then well both have a good day.

I’m not saying that it isn’t a good oil. It is as good as any other that meets or exceeds the same specifications required for your kit.

There is also a 22 mm drain plug each side under the brakes to drain the oil from there separate compartment whilst your changing the transmission oil. It fills up from the transmission thought. They are not far from the 24 mm plugs for draining the rear final drives.

Bugger ive noticed them & dunnu if Main Dealers remove them as thats the only Oil ive not changed myself on my 7499
Aye The Backend Filters Heavens above i can live with the Transfilter price as its only every 2000hrs
But that long one in the Oil Tank yeeesssh its nearly at £190 now.... & every 400hrs on the 99 longer on the T4-T5 masseys
Its running 600hrs now stuff that & i know where to get as good a filter for a 1/3 of the price of OEM

Yeah i was gonna say ive ran Modern Diesel engines in Cars for last 15yrs & all on 10,000 mile changes, Genuine Oil & Filters zero issues.

You have confidence that the Mobil is what it says on the tin and is consistent good quality.

if thats what Ford says and your happy with that then i cant argue with it.
horses for courses.

i have absolutley no complaints with the product, they do a vast range of products, from std quality to the fully synthetic products so its buyers choice really.

small book here, sorry, but if your interested in my own opinion, for what its worth, read on...


the rep i have from the distributor in this country is quite a knowledgeable man, one of common sense, he has always steered me in the right direction and with options of different oils to do the same job but in different price ranges depending on what I wanted and what I was willing to pay. choose what you want kind of thing.

to explain my own reason for Mobil oil.
years ago i worked for a company that made timber harvesters, had a owner ring in one time who had a new machine, about 6 mths old.
he wanted to change the oil in his machine from what was supplied in it (castrol 46 hyd oil) to Mobil oil and wanted someone down to do it.
I went down to him and drained the oil out of the machine, out of the rams and as much as i could out of everything else.
not a 100% change, as they say that to completely change the oil in the likes of a digger you need to change the oil in the tank 7 times before its 100% changed but a good 70-80% imo which took some time.
we refilled it mobil hyd oil.

in the same weather conditions, in the same working conditions and within 2 days, the working hydraulic temprature of the machine fell from 102dgs to 71dgs when changed to the Mobil oil.
from that day to this ive used Mobil oil here in the workshop, it was hard to argue with the results i seen.

But,
to some, oil is oil and they'd say sure it all comes out of the one hole which is true, but its what they do to it after that makes the difference.
i went with mobil because i seen results in one situation but it was enough to sell me on the brand but others will swear by other brands and thats fine, again, horses for courses.

the oil i use in my mower bed and gearboxes for insrtance is a fully synthetic gear oil, its the best end of £200 per 20 ltrs, there isnt many who would spend that kind of money on gear oil but i do.
less would do 99% of owners but im a bit of a black sheep and i like to buy a quality product, or at least what i consider to be a quality product.

im sure the other brands do similar options of oil but i stuck with mobil as from then til now, I couldn't fault it.
