How do I add oil to my Husqvarna hydrostatic transmission?

Fill the hydrostatic transmission oil filter reservoirs with new hydrostatic transmission oil. Pour the transmission oil into the reservoirs by hand. Fill the oil reservoir to the full line that is embossed on the side of the reservoir tank.

What kind of fluid goes in a Husqvarna hydrostatic transmission?

Which oil goes into the hydrostatic transmission? Swedish Riders 16 (H), RIder 155, and Rider 175 use 10w-30 non-synthetic engine oil.

What kind of hydraulic fluid does a Husqvarna zero turn use?

Print. The fluid recommended for Hydro-Gear transmissions and pumps is a 20W-50 motor oil or 15W-50 synthetic motor oil. If the machine has oil reservoirs, they are mounted to the frame behind the seat, for easy access and oil level check accessibility.

Is hydrostatic oil the same as transmission fluid?

ATFs are usually less viscous and designed to work under lower pressures and temperatures than hydraulic fluids. The operating temperature range of hydraulic fluids is larger i.e. they maintain their viscosity better in a broader temperature range. Also hydraulic fluids are very pure compared to ATFs.
