[QUOTE="MX727, post: 120859, member: 7333"] I don't think I'd be to concerned. Many machines specify motor oil in the hydraulic system. You didn't like the way your machine performed with motor oil and you quickly changed it. The percentage of remaining motor oil will be negligible after the second oil change due to the mixing of the oils when you run it. After your first change back to hydraulic fluid, did you notice a better response level? As to fires, cleanliness is probably more important, particularly with dry materials such as grasses and leaves that will begin to smolder and then can ignite the oils and greases. [/QUOTE]
