    Gonna add a pto to my truck and while doing so, I’m gonna change the oil in my transmission. Looking for the capacity of a 10 speed OD.

    Fill it until it comes out the fill hole, about 3 gallons-give or take.

    Get a five gallon bucket and you'll have a little left over after the PTO is installed to top off your diffs or steer hubs

    X2 and cheaper than gallon jugs. Next question brand. Lots of opinions. But as long as it meets manufacturers spec. Your good.

    Well, we discussed this the last time I did a pto and the majority seemed to recommend 50wt synthetic. I mentioned that to a very knowledgeable guy who builds lots of dump trucks and own a semi truck salvage yard. I can’t remember what he told me to use but I did use it and I think it was, Mystik 80w-90(old stuff). I’ll have to double check that but I can assure you, I’ve had no leaks and no shifting issues in cold or warm weather. Think he told me, it’s(80w-90) a lot less apt to leak.

    He is right with older eatons. 80/90 fine. Have had a few customers run it. Really warm up is more important. Let it get flowing. But yearly drains.

    Idk I'm happy with 50w synthetic in a Rtlo and no PTO.

    Still have half a barrel of 85w/140 Hydrotex that some heavy haulers swear by for trailer hubs and rear diffs. They were not looking for fuel milage.

    As you are adding a pto, after you fill it, go for a short drive, this give the air in the cooler lines a chance to get worked out. Then park for a spell with everything off and check and top off transmission again.
