John deere 690e lc hydraulic oil switch

Hey there I’m looking to switch over my 690e lc to aw 46 oil instead of the jd20c oil, has anyone ever done this before? Curious to know if there is an issue with this? Thanks

    To resolve a rash of 690E hydraulic pump failures, Deere in the early 90’s recommended switching oil from Hygard to 10W30 engine oil in that machine.

    I switched my 690e lc from hygard to 0W30 engine oil after the second pump failure. I’m not sure if Linde pumps are recommended to use AW 46.
