    brake fluid?

    Sorry, not a lot of Komatsu backhoes around here. If you can't find it online, you need an owners manual. The wrong fluid could cost you a lot more than the wait and price of the manual. Probably a hydraulic oil, but that's just a guess.

    Yep. Follow Delmer's advice. My Terex takes mineral oil.
