[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 119736, member: 7474"] Here is an oil filter cross reference website: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com[/URL] I would suggest going with a higher quality filter such as Baldwin ( I believe the Baldwin BT8861 fits your machine but better double check). Low quality cheap filters will cost you a lot of money down the road. Oil is a big question. I suggest again going with a good quality premium oil. Others on here have just gone with cheaper oil like NAPA brand (I have used this in older machines without any issues). I think I read somewhere that it is made by Valvoline. The price for a good oil is going to be over $100 for a 5 gal bucket while NAPA is about $55.

Here is a cross reference website: [URL unfurl="true"]https://petroleumservicecompany.com/lubricant-brand-cross-reference[/URL] I just did a pretty extensive search and my conclusion is that Bobcat, at least in the past, used [HEADING=2]MOBIL DTE 10 EXCEL[/HEADING] This is a starting point for you to look at hydraulic oils.
