[QUOTE="M700man, post: 7617, member: 365"] Drive power seems to be unaffected, as it will spin the wheels if it can't move what's in front of it. Lift arms/tilt seem to have sufficient power as well. Several months ago, just motoring around the shop, the light came on a few times, briefly and then went back off. After starting this cleanup job, the light would come on for a few seconds, occasionally, but after changing the hydro filter(which I filled with oil) prior to installation, it came on and stayed on for about 15 minutes, although I saw no changes in performance. Yesterday late, I cranked it back up and run it for a few minutes and the light came back on. It would seem that it probably run just long enough to heat up the oil and thin it, which of course would drop the pressure. Incidentally, I had taken it back to the shop, and while I was doing repairs, I washed the radiator/oil cooler out thoroughly, just to be sure. So, obviously it was not a case of a restricted air flow to the oil cooler, which I first suspected. I normally use Baldwin filters, but got this last one from NAPA. It appeared to be the same, but now I am beginning to wonder if it may not be to fine of a screen to let sufficient oil flow through. But if that was the case, then it seems that it would lose drive power, etc. [/QUOTE]
