[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 593, member: 33"] This kind of following in line with my other post regarding Bobcat hydraulic/hydrostatic oil, but I wanted to keep it separate. I was told that Bobcat and Cat hydraulic oils were incompatible. I was told that Cat uses a less viscous fluid because of it's pilot control valves. Is this true? What kind of problems could arise if the oils were mixed? They said you don't want to use hydraulic attachments which have been used on a Cat and vise versa because of the contamination risks. My friend has a Cat machine and I haven't let him borrow my Brushcat because of this reason. It would sure look bad if I was misinformed and he thought I was just being “stingy” with my Brushcat.
