interchangeable hydraulic fluid?

I've got Hiniker and Fisher plows (2 each).

I've got 3-year old bottles of Meyer hydraulic fluid, enough for changing fluids in all four plows.

Should I fill w/ Meyer, or will I need to purchase specific brand name fluids?

I've run ATF in all my pumps for nearly 30 years and have never had a pump problem. If it were me, I wouldn't think twice about using the same fluid in all the plows.

Thanks. '30 years' carries some weight. I assume you change fluid annually.
