Just replaced my blown hydraulic pump, I'm worried that if I use the wrong oil I'll end up replacing it again...

Here is a link to my local auto shops hydraulic fluid selection, are the ISO 68 ones alright? I don't quite understand the grading system for hydraulic fluids

PS I have a front end loader and 3PL, my transmission oil and hydraulic fluid is shared as well (I hear this is standard now)

You would have to put tar in it for the fluid to damage the pump! :p
They are pretty tough, damage is normally caused by air or water getting in the system, so check your suction lines and screen filters.

Yes ISO 68 fluids will work great for your application. :D

As being a standard now... Kubota's have had the same type common fluid reservoir / sump for 45 some odd years. ;)
