Factory oil was SAE 5 or 10 or 20 motor oil pending ambient temps. I use a general purpose hydraulic oil. Some people use 10-30 motor oil. System doesn't need a special oil just low viscosity suitable for hydraulics. Torque capacity is ~2 gals.

Pic is early 50's model after the return filter was developed. You may not have the filter. Full level is to the lip of the plug opening.

There is a breather mounted on the top forward of the steering stand, might want to check it clear.

an oil with anti foaming is usually best suited for hydraulic use - most engine oils dont have anti foaming but its hard to say if it really matters i mean the systems are still working 50-60-70 years later - the anti foaming may have an effect on operation as you may end up sucking some air in the oil if it starts getting foamy
