I have a 40-year-old L295DT. I had to have the dealer replace the clutch right after I bought it and they used Kubota UDT.
After doing some repairs I need to top off hydraulic oil. The dealers is across town is closed on Sundays and their oil is very expensive. Can I buy hydraulic oil from Walmart and mix it?

Yes if you are talking about Walmart's house brand UTTF.

Very likely can. If worried, try to syphon or suck up a little bit of what you have and mix with an equal part of the new fluid you buy. Heat up to around 100 F and check to make sure there is no precipitate.

Still could possibly not be compatible with the seals but very small chance.

I sold some leftover Hy Gard from my lemony 1025R bought in 2013 recently for $10/gallon because I did not want to use it.
