[QUOTE="melli, post: 97818, member: 7164"] Yeah, from what I've gathered ISO 46 is what most folks use, with a small number using ISO 32. The thing is, in older manuals, they say one can use SAE 10W-30 engine oil in a pinch. Well, as I look at tables cross referencing the engine oil with ISO, I get ISO 32.... That is the one bugbear of mine about Bobcat...they don't release their oil specs...I do recall reading someone had managed to get the Cst figures.... At any rate I dropped the CC on oil, filters and teeth today...get them next week. The oil question has bothered me for some time, but I think I can do a test...a flow test of one liter of Bobcat oil vs engine vs 46... Since they will be all at same temps, they will flow at different rates...that will give me an approximation of weight they use. The weight is key imho. The additives....whatever...if one uses a name brand hydraulic oil it should have all the good stuff to keep corrosion/water etc out and protect seals.
