go to "product safety" pick Skid Steer (or what ever) from left, then put in your model.

10W hydraulic is fine as long as you are not exceeding the temperature range.

Squizzy is 100% right.
A lot of operators I know actually use 15W40 engine oil for our area as it meets ambient temp ranges for oil. This keeps it simple, one oil for machine.:D
