[QUOTE="Mustang Guy, post: 120830, member: 13485"] Where in the world are you operating that the auto ignition point of hydraulic oil would be a concern? Are you operating inside the wildfire lines? Anything you use in a hydraulic system, except for water, is going to have a flash point well over 400°F at atmospheric pressure. If you're operating in hot/cold extremes you should be using a multi-grade hydraulic oil (ISO AW 32/46/68). If you're constantly operating in sub-zero environments, there are cryogenic hydraulic oils for that purpose. It's scary observing people thinking they have more knowledge than lubrication engineers that have built careers in the industry. Just do what the book says, it's that simple. [/QUOTE]
