I'll go with your answer, gav41H. Just flush the old hydraulic oil with new oil. And you can never filter your oil enough - more is better. As for those "additives" ... well.. Slick 50 is nothing more than SAE 50 oil and some ground-up Teflon powder added to it. Teflon is a solid - something I don't want in my hydraulic system. Unless you know what is in your oil additives - and they are very spooky about not telling you this - I'd steer away from them. If anything, use an oil flush that has solvent and cleaning qualities. Possibly engine oil flush, but I'd be weary of going even with that stuff.
