Citgo AW46 HyDurance Hydraulic Oil at Costco

[Greg19]

I inherited a 1991 853 with a business I bought. It leaks hydraulic oil so I added 2.5 gallons of Bobcat hydraulic oil last summer. Is there any reason I can't use the Citgo HyDurance AW46 Hydraulic oil from Costco. Citgo web product address is http://www.docs.citgo.com/msds_pi/C10203.pdf Here is part of the product spec sheet: CITGO HyDurance AW Fluids are formulated with high quality base stocks and premium additive components to offer trouble-free service in high-pressure, high-output industrial hydraulic circuits.

Thank you, I appreciate the help Greg

I don't see why AW46 wouldn't work, i run engine oil, some people say no no no, but i have never had any issues.

I am with Tazza - I use engine oil, which was a Bobcat recommended alternative back in the day. Never been an issue for me either.
