[QUOTE="dfb, post: 117580, member: 11792"] A few years back I rebuilt both wheel motors on my Bobcat 742b after repairing multiple leaks and replacing the hoses and once again had to refilll the reservoir. I had been using 32 weight hydraulic oil during the leak repair objective that took a few attempts to get all of them. I decided to go with the Bobcat oil after somebody explained that hydrostatic system need to have lubricity characteristics that hydraulic systems do not. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel I felt using the Bobcat oil would take the guess work out of having the right stuff in there. If I were to be changing accesories that had different oils, my thought would be to change my oil if it were significantly diluted with other oils. [/QUOTE]
