I do not mean to go against all of the other advice here but I have had the same experience as T-Bone. All together I have 15 tractors including a backhoe. I farm with 6 of them and also use the backhoe.In particular have found it impossible to keep bright hyd.oil in my 1175 Case.If I had to throw away oil from just the seven that I use regularly it would be a big bill.Have not been able to overcome the moisture problem, at least here in Texas. Also have never been able to completely drain all of the contaminated stuff.Then when changing equipment with different hyd. cylinders, also spread the bad with the good.I do as T-Bone has done and keep a backlog of used oil to settle and it does get clear in time.I happen to come from a trade where our oil was frequently run thru a centrifuge. This process removes water and all solid contaminants. If I could find an old creame separator locally ,I might attempt to take water from my oil,with it however I know that no doubt it would require some machine work to make proper ring dams to the size necessary to allow water removal.I have toyed with the idea of purchasing an used industrial centrifuge to cope with the problem and also offer a service to contractors and farmers to decontaminate oils.We must all have this problem to some extent.
