[QUOTE="cocoabill, post: 120777, member: 21597"] I put synthetic engine oil in my loader, Costco SAE 15W-40 Heavy Duty Synthetic Diesel oil. Loader seams to be OK but it's a bit sluggish. I did this because worried about fire potential with Hydraulic oil. I am thinking about going back to the recommended SAE 10W20CD I was looking at using AW32 Hydraulic fluid for this. Question is did I already mess things up by switching to motor oil and is there anything special I need to do to switch back? This is the manuals full spec on recommended Oil SAE 10W20CD; Taxaco TDH; Mobil Fluid 423; Chevron Tractor Hydraulic Fluid; G Automatic Fluids meeting Caterpillar TO-2 or Allison C3 standards Thanks Bill [/QUOTE]
