[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 5143, member: 82"] I run 15W40, the same as i run in my engine. I have another machine i threw cheap 20W50 into, it also works great. Basically any engine grade oil will do the job. Just never run standard hydraulic oil in the system, its just too thin. As for draining the oil, this is not easily done i'm afraid. The easiest way i have found is to use the aux hydraulic quick couplers. Run the machine at idle and operate the aux hydraulics to drain as much oil as possible, just don't keep running the machine when it starts to groan. Re-fill and run the machine around a bit, operate the hydraulics and drain it again. Repeat a few times and thats about as good as you can get it short or removing cylinders and lines to drain it all. Good luck [/QUOTE]
