Developed an oil leak in Hydraulic Box due to clamp not tight.. ( all clamps were pretty loose).
 I have a partial gallon of Wood Mizer Hydraulic oil MV32 006397 I need more to fill reservoir. 
Is this some sort of special oil for WM or can I use any 32-weight hydraulic oil...
I can get 32 weight oil in 1/2hour
It would be 3-4 days to get WM oil

Is this a Super 70 or a 70?  The Super uses a very unique Mobile 1 synthetic multi viscosity oil that was over $300 a pail last time I had to buy some. I don't know about the standard 70.

  What does your manual say? BTW - I use the 32 weight from Advance auto in my LT35 from the store 6 miles away.

ATF it is....  one of the hoses was leaking through the side wall it had multiple bad spots  enough to pump it dry in a couple hours kind of weird but I got it going..
