Oil Type
Q: Specifically, what type of oil should I use in my hydraulic system?
A:Any non-detergent SAE 20W-50 "Motor Oil" is recommended. Clean the area around the reservoir fill neck before removing the cap. Check this level daily. The baffle in the tank, visible thru the reservoir fill opening, should be covered by oil. DO NOT use "hydraulic oil", i.e.; Type A, UDT, or any other form of oil intended for hydraulic cylinder systems.
