[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 6613, member: 782"] The engine oil in the hydraulics has been used by a bunch of manufactures for years and makes it easy to not have to have all different kinds of oil on hand -----but it is more expensive than hydraulic oil and Bobcat came out witha bulletin about 2 years ago now that they recommend hydraulic oil and not motor oil in the hydraulic tanks , they reason was that the new motor oils of today have additives in them that are not friendly to the hydraulic components and seals , of course Bobcat reccomends that you use the Bobcat brand oil , but I have never seen a failure that was attributed to bad oil yet , as long as you use a good quality oil you will save money and be ok [/QUOTE]
