[QUOTE="Hotrod1830, post: 92007, member: 4331"] You have to remember that hydrostatic systems still use the same basic components they have used for 40+ years. All of the Additives do help, but can be found in " basic", " off the shelf"" type of fluids. Whether BOBCAT fluid is better is a debate that probably could never be won or lost. With owners getting high hours of use using "basic fluid" with good maintenance practices makes you wonder if factory fluids are snake oils. Myself, mine is filled with bulk 5w30. For arguments sake, I have been thinking about switching to a dedicated hydraulic fluid on the 310 that specifies use with "wet brakes" because it is a clutch drive machine. [/QUOTE]
