Not to insult you but I just changed mine two weeks ago on my Case. The manual said turn it counter clockwise. So I tried and tried and tried. Broke a strap wrench, used blaster, screwdriver etc. Absolutely its counterclockwise but mine is at chest level so I was tightening it. Its...

I checked Messicks.. Discontinued but they say they will search the countryside for you lile you said. I am going with the Shell Rotella T4 10W30 heavy duty diesel oil. Auto zone has it for 18 bucks a gallon. It will be more than hydro but less than CAT Hydro Advanced 10. I feel confident about...

Very good thanks. I will definitely check out the screen.

Ok so after declaring I solved the riddle, I found this from user sgf: "So what did I ultimately decide? I decided to not use the AW-46 in this particular machine based on the advice I received from the dealerships. I use Rotella 10W-30 T4 in the engine and that is what I will be using in the...

Thanks Ill give them a try.

Mobile 424. Ill look into it. Thanks for the tip.

I really do appreciate your thought. You have some great points. Thanks so much.

Ok so I may have solved the 10W30 debacle of the past ten years. CAT makes a hydraulic fluid that is called Hydro Advanced 10. It is an emulsifier, it has .09ppm of Zinc, anti foaming etc. There website specifically talks about the taboos of shedding water AW hydraulic fluids. Shedding (De...

I did find one called Hydra Z. High zinc hydraulic fluid. Its an ISO 46.

Thank you for the suggestion. I googled hydro oil with Zinc and what not to no avail. What is funny is that the Case dealership has Hy Tran buckets on the floor in the front office. On the front it says "zinc free". I walked out in slow motion with my head down looking back every few seconds to...

Thanks for the understanding. Sounds like you understood what I was asking. I appreciate the help from everyone, but "do what the manual recommends" does not help me at all. It is not as simple as reading the manual that I have in my possession complete with grease stains from my hard work and...

Ok thanks. I have decided on the 10W30. Now to find the correct additive.

Ok thanks. Ill go to another dealer. I already went to one yesterday. They looked at their chart on the desk and said "yes, 10W30 with the additive". I thought there may have been some technological advances since 1990 that would replace the 10W30.

I have read for hours and hours on this stuff. My true intention is to use 10W30. Ill make it simple. Can anyone direct me to the correct additive? Ill spend the extra bucks.

Yes this is in general discussion because many old tractors say (in the manuel's) to use 10W30 with an HTO additive for hydraulic fluid. My Case 1845C is one of them. Can anyone recommend a compatible hydraulic oil? I am aware that AW32 has the same viscosity as 10W30 but I believe I need a...
