The original owner's manual is a good resource and all, but oil technology has changed, products have come and gone.
For example, the owner's manual will call for "touch control fluid" in the hydraulics. There is no such thing anymore. The modern equivalent is CaseIH HyTran. Genuine HyTran is best, but for a simple closed-loop hydraulic system like the Cub, any fluid marked as "HyTran compatible/compliant" on the bucket is perfectly fine. It only takes 6 pints, IIRC.

Engine oils are vastly different too. The Rotella will be perfectly fine, unless your Cub's engine is REALLY sludged up. Odds are good the previous owner didn't go online for oil advice and just used what he had.
