Hy-Tran's water encapsulation ability is unique to Hy-Tran.

Jeff is correct in saying that Hy-Tran is the recommended fluid from IH or CCC.
I don't run it. ATF (specifically Dexron III) is an acceptable substitute. This is a topic that we on the forum all the time. Most of us get tired of the debate. There are too many people on here running "other than" oils with no problems. As a mechanic, and as a former IH mechanic, I can tell you the oil Jeff listed is fine, Dexron III is fine, any 30wt (or close I.E: SAE 32) is fine. I even know of a guy who runs 30WT Rotella in his rear with no issues. It really isn't very critical at all, as long as it is a oil that is meant for a piston style pump.
