[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 610, member: 33"] Good to hear about the ISO 46 specification requirement. I would like to run a sythetic or lighter weight oil due to the cold weather here in Alaska, but don't want to lose high temperature performance in the summer. I don't want to change out the oil every 6 months either. In Prudhoe Bay (north slope of Alaska), we run AW 32 in all our hydraulic equipment because of the cold weather. I seems to work fine in the warmer weather too, but usually doesn't get more than 75-80 degrees F in the summertime. If you rent expensive attachments, you don't really have the choice not to share attachments with other machines. I thought about contamination risks and countermeasures. It would be a pain to flush an attachment before using and could get expensive. Good excuse to buy more attachments [IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-2.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
