Hydraulic Oil Question

[woodlandfarms]

A buddy of mine just dropped of 3 1 gallon jugs of NAPA R&O Hydraulic Oil. He says I will have no issue using it on my PT in the Hydraulic section. I use Chevron 10-40 as it is cheap and my PT leaks like no tomorrow.

Thoughts? Hate to chuck perfectly good oil...

Hi Carl,

Don't.

You don't want to be mixing engine oil with hydraulic oil, especially in a machine as old as yours. Stuff may crap out or dissolve.

Just my $0.02.

All the best,

Peter

I agree with Peter. I wouldn't do it.

I am taking this to my mechanic friend. He owns a big backhoe and maybe this will buy me a bit of pond cleaning.

Just trade it for something you need.
