Mahindra brand oil/Hydraulic fluid what is it comparable to?
I’m curious if anyone has looked into what Mahindra’s brand of oil and hydraulic fluid is comparable to. It is rather expensive, and I’m curious if that is because it is actually a very high grade of fluid, or if it is just cheap fluid that has been marked up a lot. The Max is really stiff when cold. Less chance of wrecking trailer with the Max.
