Trying to learn a little about the "new" M500 I purchased. I opened the side covers and it appears to be clean ATF fluid in it. On the side where you check the level it has a sticker that is partial worn off but I can see it says something about Dextron or Type "A" transmission fluid. I look in the repair manual and it says use 10W30. Is the fluid in the side chain baths connected to the hydraulic system that runs the rest of the machine? Could I have One type in the sides and a different going through the hydraulic control valves? Thanks.......Joe
