Tried to post this yesterday, but it didn't show up!! Drained the oil out of the hydraulic unit on my 51 M. Manual says to refill with 10 weight oil. Can't turn any up. Does anyone know whether you can use hydraulic oil instead? If so, any recomendations on type? appreciate any advice.

Steve

I used non-detergent Castrol Hydraulic Fluid that was dyed blue. It works fine on my 40S.

Used to use 20 weight in our 40W. It always growled a lot when it was cold. We recently converted to Hy-guard & it seems happy hot & cold both though it did reduce it's lifting capacity a bit when hot.

I use regular hydraulic oil in mine. It is called quick lift which has same specs as hy tran or hy guard.

Thanks for the comments. I am in Colorado, so I may try non detergent 20 wt so it won't be so stiff. Surprised no one is using straight hydraulic oil.

Mark - Good buy on that MT

Why Non-Deterget oil? Is this due to the older seals dreaking down with deterget oil? I was going to change mine on the one I just got. Mark H.

Also if its had non-det oil in it then it should have non-det in it now because if you put regular oil in it will loosen all the gunk and act like a grinding substance.

Non-detergent will not foam up like detergent will.

If you can't find non-detergent is there a replacement oil you can use? Thanks, Mark

Steve, I have always used the cheap non-detergent straight 30 weight oil. The kind you get at Wal-Mart. My grandpa used non-det. 30W in his for years with no problem. Of course in the Northern climates the lift may be a little sluggish until warmed up.
