hydraulic oil choice

[ironman1952]

I am doint my 50hr service on my Kioti RX7320 and it says to just replace the filter not the oil. I will need about a gallon to top off but I dont know what brand or type of hydraulic iol that was put in originally.
Does it matter it a different oil is used? Any thoughts?
Thanks, Joe

I speculate you are performing the initial 50 hour service and as such, it probably has Kioti hydraulic fluid in it.

If I were you, I would look at the owner's manual and buy a gallon of Kioti brand hydraulic fluid.

Might be best if there is ever a warranty claim.

X2 on topping off with oem fluid. It's unlikely that another brand of compatible would cause problems, but I wouldn't do it.

I’m not a big fan of using oem fluids because I figure they are overpriced but when it comes to hydraulic fluid I use oem.

I have a CK3510 and my dealer recommended I just run down to the Tractor Supply (or Tractor Surprise as I like to call it) and get a jug of their Travelers brand.

Mobil 424 is in the manual as an approved oil. The only one of 2 that's listed in mine.
