Hydraulic Fluid… mixing?

Seananamous ยท 2018-04-20 22:50

I'm not sure what kind of hydraulic fluid is currently in the machine but it looks fine. I just need to add more fluid so would it be bad to mix? What I'd add is ISO 32. The service manual is asking for ISO 32/46 or NH 140(expensive)

    Well, around here there are 2 types. One will say dump it all, no matter how good it looks. The other will say put in whatever the book specs, it'll be fine. Take your pick.

    I'm firmly in the top it off with a fluid meeting book specs and you will be fine camp
