[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 14379, member: 82"] I have always used motor oil but recently there have been a few posts about using hydraulic oil. The main problem is with hydraulic oil there are different grades. And yes, some hydraulic oil is indeed too thin and can cause pump damage due to lack of lubrication. If you only added a small amount of hydraulic oil i see no problem, if you used a LOT you *may* have a potential problem. The hydraulic system holds around 25-30 liters or there abouts, including the reserve tank. I still need to find out just what grade Bobcat recommends for hydraulic oil but i was always told 15W30 20W50 etc were fine. [/QUOTE]
