Unless the transmission has been completely flushed, Wheel Horse did not recommend switching from whatever you were using to something else. Here is a quote pulled from their lubrication chart.

CAUTION: DO NOT MIX TYPES OF OILS. System could have been

flushed & converted during overhaul. DETERMINE TYPE OF OIL

USED WHEN DRAINED AND REFILL WITH SAME.

SAE 1OW-30 or 1OW-40 Engine Oil

Dexron II or III Trans. Oil

So you need to know what is in it now before changing or adding unless you do a complete flush.

Most users recommend the OEM Toro filter, #79-5270

Your transmission holds 5 quarts of fluid.
