Happy New Year!
The wife wants to kill me as I made a 'small' purchase at the local auction house.... Just a little excavator. Nothing new to see here!
I tried to hide it, put it behind the garage and all such, but I got caught...View attachment 842175
Now, unfortunately, it needs a hydraulic fluid change - like over 55 gallons worth.
Any recommendations on an inexpensive source of hydraulic fluid with some actual specific approvals?
The cheapest I found is Service Pro (see PDF) in 55gal Drums - about $550/ea. or so. Looking to replace JCB's AW46 oil.
Thanks everyone,

"Maybe it should go into politics".ChatGPT apparently takes pieces of from other conversations and weaves them together so they sound authoritative. It doesn't seem to notice when it contradicts itself. When asked it about additives in hydraulic fluids, ChatGPT confidently spouted out two completely different conclusions.
Maybe it should go into politics.
I believe it is head of the Democratic party. ;- )"Maybe it should go into politics".
What makes you think it isn't ?
You have already gotten more detailed replies than necessary. It is a huge subject. Strangely, hydraulic oil is more a manufacturers spec and not SAE or API standard such as motor oil.Happy New Year!
