Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda hydrostatic trans fluid, proper manuals, mail order


Question
I have a Honda 928 with the hydrostatic transmission and was wondering if that's the same transfer case as in some of the lawnmowers, made by TuffTorq? I don't have a dealer nearby where I live and was hoping I could substitute a 10/30 synthetic oil until I can get my hands on some of the Honda fluid (probably via mail-order)? Thanks for your time.
