Hey folks,
trying to avoid taking out a loan to buy hydraulic oil to change mine.... Couple of years ago the neighbor dumped in motor oil (10w40). I've got a couple of seals leaking and thought I'd just change the oil while I'm at it. The local dealer wants about 8 bucks a liter for hydraulic oil,but I remember in the military vehicles I worked on with hydraulics, we just used 10wt motor oil. Is there a difference in the tractors, or will the 10w40 the neighbor dumped in not harm anything (hasn't so far unless it caused the leaks)?
Thanks, Dave
