[QUOTE="koko, post: 121754, member: 20778"] My suggestion when changing the hyd. oil is to buy lots of it, it's not a one time thing does it all. Yes you will still have contaminated oil in the crooks & crannys & the cylinders & pumps. I changed mine, in a T300, last winter when I resealed all the cylinders & made new pins as it was inside the cylinders that I found "fines". I was worried that there may be "fines" in the reservoir also but I was able to rig a rare earth magnet on a stiff wire & worked a couple hours to get that cleaned. The reservoir is plastic with steel fittings imbedded to screw the hyd. lines into. I was able to "stick" the magnet with the wire attached to the return line to the tank & after using the machine for a day, I pull the magnet & check for "fines". So far with about 50 hrs. on the machine since the work was done & has come up clean. I just leave the magnet in the reservoir as it works for me! [/QUOTE]
